Oops! Forgot!

Sorry!  I forgot to mention this in the last email.  I checked some of the kids on spelling concepts that were taught throughout the year.  I am using this to help students practice skills that may be still confusing to them. 

Group A will be having a spelling test on Monday with the same words from last week.  I want to make sure they "get" the concept and most kids in this group didn't do so hot on the test last week.  All other groups do not have spelling words this week, so there will not be a test.

As mentioned at conferences, I will be retesting all the kids with the 25 word "test" to help me dig a little deeper.  It will pinpoint exactly what concepts are solid and which need to be retaught or practiced some more.  After the new year, some spelling groups might change due to the progress of the kids.  I hope this clarifies any confusion over spelling and I will update you as to how your child did after the first of the year.

Thanks!!
