English-Spelling

Students will be receiving their spelling lists each Monday. They will be recording them in their assignment notebooks and they will be listed here for you to review as well. Along with the daily lists, students will be expected to complete a spelling packet of various activities related to their words for the week. Language Arts will typically be on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, but will also be incorporated into MN History and Reading. Assignments might not always be listed on this page as they will be on the page for the class they are assigned in. Language Arts:
