Our assessment for “words of the week” has changed. We will give the students 5 words of the week in isolation. This will be worth 5 points. Then the students will be given 5 dictation sentences. Each sentence will be worth 3 points for a total of 15 points (1- beginning the sentence with a capital letter, 1 – correct spelling of the word of the week, 1 – end punctuation). Please have your child spend a few minutes each day practicing the words of the week in sentence writing.
