Each Monday, students take a pre-test on the week's spelling words. THIS DOES NOT COUNT TOWARD THEIR GRADE! The test is graded and sent home with the homework. You will know which words your child needs to work on before the real test of Friday. If your child earns 100% on the spelling pre-test, they will be given challenge words to study. They will receive 100% in the gradebook regardless of how they do on the real test. They have already shown me that they have mastered the words for the week. I do not feel it is right to give them a lower grade if they struggle with the challenge words.
