Homework

Students have spelling homework every week. You will find a spelling list attached to their homework. Please keep this so that your child can study these words. There is also a letter explaining our spelling words for the week. This always comes home on Monday. This homework will be due on Friday. I really encourage your child to practice spelling words for 10 minutes a night and to read every night.

Intelligence plus character is the goal of true education.
