*Spelling words went home today in the Family Times newsletter printed on yellow paper.  They always go home the Friday before so that your child has a week to study them.  The words can be found under Day 4, and they are highlighted.  The words for next week are: birth, curb, curl, dirt, her, nurse, person, purse, serve, skirt, turn, and turtle.  We do take the tests on the computer using www.spellingcity.com/awhisman.
