2. Testing: each Monday, students will take a spelling pretest. If they get all of the words correct, they are finished spelling for the week. Otherwise, students will take a spelling test each Friday.
3. Reading tests will be given each Thursday once our books arrive.
This test will include the week's vocabulary words.
4. Religion tests will be given each Friday-except when we have other tests on Friday -tests are based on the Religion notes in the copybook and the highlighted information in the religion book.

Spelling:

If a student is absent on a spelling test day, they don't need to make it up as it is okay to miss up to two spelling tests per trimester.-Spelling grades will be found on OptionC after each group of 5.***

ELA
In school project: Spooktacular Club-
Students will be working together in groups during ELA class to come up with a "Halloween" themed "club" with a membership card, club song, club rules, etc. Part of this project will be to permit students to bring costumes that align with their "club" on Oct. 30-during our presentations, students may change into their costumes. This is not to cost you any money-so if you have stuff laying around the house that the students can use, great. Another part of the project is that students will be designing and building a "club house" using shoe boxes. Students usually really enjoy this project, but I wanted to let you know that this is not to inconvenience you in any way.
