Because of Winn Dixie Spelling

We use this blog in our classrooms to help you find activities online that will help your learning.   Sometimes, you will visit websites.  Sometimes you will get to watch short videos that relate to what we are learning in class.

Today, you will visit a website called Spelling City which has practice activities and games to help you learn your spelling words.  First, you will take a practice test.  After the test, you will report your errors to your teacher and practice the words.  After all of this is done, you may play one o the games on Spelling City that uses your words.

Remember to focus and concentrate on studying.  You will have a spelling test on Friday!
