I haven't decided how to do spelling this year since I have all the ELA for the first time but in the past our team always assigned sentences for spelling words as homework on Wednesdays. Students had to use one or two spelling words in a sentence with context clues. As you can imagine, it was their least favorite homework assignment! Thanks for linking up! :)<br />~Holly<br /><a href="http://fourthgradeflipper.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Fourth Grade Flipper</a>Fourth Grade Flipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16878854127879084534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719663751933579109.post-67732257018171473042013-09-03T18:09:41.939-07:002013-09-03T18:09:41.939-07:00I do all of my spelling tests on Spellingcity.com ...I do all of my spelling tests on Spellingcity.com I take one day and type in all of my lists into Spellingcity, so they are always there. On Mondays I give my kids the list and we talk about them. Then they do an activity on Spellingcity during centers. On Wednesdays they take the test online. Sometimes I use all 4 computers and pump them out quickly. Other times I have them rotate through one computer. Sometimes they take it on the ipad. I do not print the tests because I use an online gradebook where parents can look up the grades any time. As a student takes a test, he/she will ask a friend to look at their grade and record it on a grade sheet on my table. They do all the work and it works really well in our class. It saves me about thirty minutes that I was using to give oral spelling tests in the past.<br />Alison<br /><a href="http://www.rockinandlovinlearnin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Rockin' and Lovin' Learnin'</a>Alison Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353164628345963175noreply@blogger.com
