Highlights for the Week of 4/5/10 - 4/9/10 in Mrs. Bell's ClassroomSpelling - Lesson 26 - Review
The final test on this lesson will be on Friday, 4/9. Because this is a review lesson, the test will be in a different format than usual. Students will be given rows of words and will have to identify which spelling word is spelled incorrectly in the row. I recommend that students focus on the spelling rules that we have studied in lessons 19-25 to prepare for the test. Workbook pages are due on 4/8 & Checklist work will be collected on 4/9.
