SPELLING CONTRACT
    This is your spelling contract. You must complete at least 5 of the following activities by Friday each week. One of these will be your definitions. When you complete all 5 activities, staple them together and turn them in. You may put as many activities on one page as you like as long as there is a separation between each one. Clearly label each activity.
    Make sure to spell all words correctly on each activity. Messy work will not be accepted, so do your best the first time.
    Regardless of the 4 other activities you choose, all your spelling words (30) must be used at least twice. All words used inside writings such as stories, articles, headlines, and sentences should be underlined or highlighted.
    These activities are meant to help you prepare for your test on Fridays. Do not wait until Thursday night to do all of them. This will STRESS out your family and you!
