Spelling Homework Notes:

Each week we have spelling class on Tuesdays and Fridays.  The spelling lists come on a two week cycle.  The homework the first week is a closed sort then an open sort.  For the second week we write spelling sentences. These sentences should be at least eight words long and never start with the words I, Me, My or We.  They should all begin in a different way so that they are creative and intersting.  Make sure you underline your spelling words and write NEATLY.
