Homework For Week of May 10-14

Post date: Aug 25, 2013 10:20:18 PM

Spelling - none this week

The 15 words group can use Spelling City linked to this website to practice your words each week.

There is a pretest every Monday and the tests are on Fridays. The important thing is that you learn your words every week, but more importantly, is that there is improvement from the Monday test to the Friday test. Try your best!

Memory verses - Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
