Spelling Tests
Spelling tests are given every Friday. If we do not have school on a Friday, the test will be moved to a different day that week. Any changes will be communicated in advance so you’ll always know when to expect the test. Please check the weekly update via email or homework section for any schedule adjustments!

Vocabulary Words
Vocabulary words are different from spelling words and won’t be tested each week. Instead, students will show their understanding of the vocabulary as part of the reading comprehension test that goes along with our story every two weeks. This helps us see how they are using the words in context, not just memorizing them.
