Spelling
Spelling Menu
Please make sure to keep your Spelling Menu in a safe place for the whole month! On Thursdays, you can pick one delicious spelling
option from the menu to practice your spelling words for the week. If the menu option requires paper, please use
one of the attached lined papers and bring to school the next day to turn
in. If the menu option does not require
paper, please send in a note from your family stating that you completed the
activity (and had lots of fun in the process J).
