  2. Hello Marie,
    We will not be doing an official spelling test on Friday. This week was an introductory week where the students had an opportunity to get familiar with the types of activities that we will be completing. However, on Friday they will do a spelling inventory which is like a spelling test but not one they can prepare for. The purpose of the inventory is for me to assess levels in order to determine proper spelling lists for the students. I hope this helps!
