[QUOTE="Andy, post: 240242, member: 5096"] I look at the grade for spelling as the actual spelling tests and assignments that surround those words for the week. It would be too difficult to apply all spelling within assignments to the spelling grade especially if you have different teachers teaching the actual spelling curriculum and the language arts curriculum or the other classes such as social studies reports,etc. The teachers wouldn't remember which words were spelling words already "learned". Sometimes a teacher will dock a writing assignment for misspelled words but that will be reflected in that assignment, not the spelling class. Good point though - I never thought of it as you see it. I think it would be most helpful to give the student an ongoing list of the words that are to be spelled correctly and let him/her use the list to write (not have to memorize). It may help reinforce the correct spelling. I am very much looking forward to February! Tomorrow is February 1st and on my agenda is: 1. Sunday School preparation, 2. Helping if and as I can with the day school subsandwich fund raiser 3. Taking my kids to another day school's fund raiser - lots of games, raffles, food, and 4. Going into work for about 4 - 6 hours late afternoon through night to do my 1st day of the month duty so I can spend Monday finishing packing the office and moving to the new facility. On Friday, Feb 6 and Friday, Feb 20, I am setting up workshops for the day school kids. On Feb 6th, all kids will go through all four workstations (making Valentine craft, Valentine Box, Valentine Card(s), and individual pizza). On Feb 20th, the students get to choose 2 long, 1 long and 2 short, or 2 short activities from: Woodwork for 3rd - 6th (long), Black Bear presentation (long), Horsedrawn wagon ride (long), making brownies (short), 1st aide with school nurse (short), table games (short), legos (short), an art project (short), painting a wood craft (short). The short ones may change if I get people to lead other things. My daughter is planning a 6 hour solo drive the middle of Feb which I am a little nervous about but I know Feb can bring Spring like days. I am taking a Sign Language class 1hr per week on Tuesday nights. I think February will be a good month. I hope it is for you also. [/QUOTE]
