Spelling

What are the current instructional practices for spelling? What is the district expectation?

This is the first year that fifth grade teachers chose not to teach spelling. We wanted to spend more time with the writing process. Fifth grade teachers didn't teach spelling for the first semester, but we saw a great need for it. Now we are back to spelling lists. We have incorporated some websites where students can practice on-line. Students can even take their tests on-line. It is working. Patti 2-22-10
