SPELLING
There are two Spelling tests each week.
A Wednesday test is composed of 20 list words,
2 or 3 frequently misspelled words, and 5 challenge words.
The challenge words are extra points,
1 point per word for a maximum of 5 points.
105 is the highest grade that can be made.
If you make 105, you are not required
to take the Friday test.
IF make less than 105, you must write your misspelled words 10 times each.
