Spelling Card
 To prepare for your weekly spelling tests, choose different homework assignments to complete.  You may turn in up to 3 assignments to add points to each week’s spelling test.  Each assignment will count as 1 point for a possible total of 3 points.    Pre-tests must be corrected by crossing out the incorrect spelling and rewriting with the correct spelling (no erasing).  Then, the pre-test must be signed by a parent/guardian to receive credit.  ALL SPELLING ASSIGNMENTS AND PRE-TESTS ARE TO BE TURNED IN ON THURSDAYS WITH YOUR TEST. This card should be kept in your homework folder for weekly reference.  Be creative, but most important… BE PREPARED FOR YOUR SPELLING TESTS ON THURSDAY!
