Spelling

I wanted to explain to you about your child's spelling grades.  Our Spelling grades changed last year.  Instead of having a separate subject of Spelling, the Spelling Test are factored into the Grammar grade.  After each Unit I will take all of the Spelling test that we took and average them together for one daily grade in Grammar.  So once we finish a Unit you will see all of those grades in your child's signed papers stapled together.  I will put the averaged grade on the top test and circle it.  You will see that grade under Grammar in Inow.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Please don't forget that your child's Community Project is due Monday, Sept. 23rd.  This is going to count as a test grade in Social Studies. 

We will have our Map test on the Continents and Bodies of Water Tuesday, Sept. 24th.  The map will look exactly the same as the study guide.  I will have the words up on the Smartboard and your child will just have to write the correct word in the correct spot for each one.

October 2nd is the last day for the Blount Discount Cards.  On this day your child needs to turn in the money or unsold cards in the envelope that they came in.  If you need more before then, just send the envelope in with your request on it.

I haven't heard back from everybody about our class email.  If you received a test email from me, please respond to it so I'll know you got it.  I will do one more test run to make sure everybody is getting the email.  It is so important that you are all getting it. 

Have a super week!
