When is spelling homework due?

The spelling packet which goes home every Monday is not due until Friday.  I
would rather they NOT be turned in early.  I would not want to misplace the
work and not give your child credit.  Please turn it in Friday.  Make sure
your child's name, date and number is on all homework.

When is other homework due?

Vocabulary folders are due on Wednesdays.  All other homework is due the very
next day, unless specified otherwise.  There will be projects and a few other
assignments that will have a longer period of time to work on.  Name, date and
number must be on all papers.

Why is my child's spelling grade lower than what the tests show?

The spelling grade is based on other things than just Friday tests.  It also 
takes into account weekly proofreading assignments and spelling across the 
curriculum (jounals, other written work).  In real life, spelling is not a 
test.  It is usage.  That is what I am trying to teach the children.
