[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 240250, member: 6546"] Hello-- At the children's old school--spelling grades and writing grades were completely separate....which, personally, I think is a little dumb...but that policy does allow children that are poor spellers to get good writing grades of they write well. Now in this new school, the weekly spelling words are pulled directly from mistakes that the kids made on assignments during the week. So if you write an essay on Christopher COLOMBOS....you may get a good score on your writing...but you will find the word COLUMBUS on next week's spelling test. To me, that makes much more sense...AND the children try really hard not to misspell anything....because then the weekly spelling test will be shorter. :smart: --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
