Most of you will have 10 spelling words to learn each week.
The first place to get your words is from any that you got wrong in your Friday test the week before.
Next, find errors in any of your books and learn them.
If you still don't have 10 words, select enough topic words from the whiteboard list to make up to 10 words.
After you have checked your list with TC, you will do a buddy test (with your random buddy) - usually on Tuesday.
Your parent test can be on Wednesday or Thursday nights, then the Friday test on.... Friday.
