Out With the New; In With the Old

Here are the spelling lists for this week!

Mrs. Priser's list:

• completely
• clockwise
• constantly
• crossways
• extremely
• home
• lengthwise
• rather
• sideways
• suddenly
• beautiful
• color
• has
• round

Here's my list:

• clockwise
• completely
• constantly
• crossways
• extremely
• lengthwise
• sideways
• suddenly
• gradually
• immediately
• repeatedly
• typically

These are not easy lists! Make sure that you drill them each night with your child, because I understand that this one is not simple--for either list.

You will see an idioms "packet" (that's neither too think nor too taxing) come home tonight, and then on Friday we will be doing the Theme Test for chapter 12.

Today we also went into the computer lab to work out the kinks on the ISTEP computer testing before we have to actually take it come May. It went fairly well--especially when compared to the computer snafu with the scheduling for the middle school.

That's all for today.
