Sooo.... We tried to take our spelling test in our composition books today and this is what I discovered. First graders have trouble writing in small lines (I figured that might be a problem) and I couldn't tell which words were capital and which words were lower case. Sooo..with that said, you will see a regular yellow spelling test coming home today. We talked about it and they (and I) preferred to take the test on that paper. I think it's much more organized for them to show their best work!
With that said, you can keep the spelling test at home and do not need to sign it or send it back. I have also decided not to pre-test anymore. I can get a feel from working in small groups with the kids as to which words/patterns they are struggling with.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for bearing with me!
