Dear Fourth Graders and Families:
Welcome to our classroom! This post is about one thing I think you might want to know about fourth grade. Make sure you contact me at 542-4510 or dsunderman@clarindacsd.org with any questions you have.
Today I am sharing how spelling works in 4th grade. Spelling tests will be on Friday. After taking your test, you will write your new list in your planner. Your practice list will consist of between twenty and twenty-four words. On Friday you will test over 10 of these words. The test will be worth twenty points. One point for each correctly spelled word and one point for each word which is written in the correct category.
When reviewing your practice words focus on the patterns you notice in the words on the list. Make sure you review all of your words, as you do not know what 10 might be on the test. See previous post titled "Words Their Way: Spelling" or the note that was sent home for suggestions on how to study for your test.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sunderman
