Dear Parents,
I wanted to let you know that the spelling test on Thursday, December 9th, will be the last test of 2010. It will also be the last test of the second quarter, and I wanted you to know that to encourage studying for Thursday.
You might want to have your child write the words in 2 different colors: consonants in red, vowels in blue. Or, you could have your child "count" the letters: consonants = 10 cents, vowels = 5 cents, and then have a total for each word.
I am looking forward to the most successful spelling tests ever!
