This morning Quinn and Anna had their weekly spelling test. We began our session with the children taking turns writing their spelling words on the board. After they had both written all their spelling words correctly and practiced the ones they had incorrect, we started our spelling tests. Anna spelled all her spelling words correctly. Quinn struggled a little on this spelling test, spelling 5 of the 10 words correctly. Mrs. Debbie will be back Monday and she will be able to give them grades on their tests.
