Spelling+and+Grammar

Spelling tests are every Friday; unless we have a short week. In grammar, we will administer quizzes to assess student understanding, however, they are only a small part of their writing grade. We are expecting the students to apply what they have learned in grammar to their writing. Looking over pages in their grammar workbook and daily edit packets before a quiz will help.
 * Fifth Grade** **Spelling and Grammar**

The students will be engaged in daily edit lessons that include sentence editing and various grammar skills. Periodically, a daily edit quiz that focuses on the skills that were taught the previous week will be given to the students.
