Spelling homework is due each week on Thursday. There are three different activities to complete each week. All spelling work (except the practice worksheet) must be completed in the Spelling notebook or on a computer.
1. Write 10 sentences using 2 spelling words in each sentence. Each sentence must make sense, and should be at least 10 words long. Or write a paragraph or story using all 20 spelling words.
2. Complete both sides of the practice worksheet.
3. Create a game or puzzle (wordsearch, crossword puzzle, unscramble, etc.) using your spelling words. You do not need to solve the puzzle!
