Speller's Choice
is what we will use for spelling homework. You may choose to
use "Speller's Choice" each night or just the nights it is
assigned, in order to prepare
for your spelling test on Friday. The best part about Speller's Choice,
is that
you get to
choose which activity you complete. The only requirement is that you earn
