Just a reminder that this week's spelling words are very difficult.  We spent some time practicing in the computer lab using the Spelling City site.  They all have Vowel-Consonant-Consonant-Consonant-Vowel patterns.  We will continue to practice during the week.  I would encourage every student to use the Spelling City link to Unit 9 words below to practice at home.
