5th Grade ELA: Word Word/Spelling

Just a reminder about Word Work.  They have 15 words each week that they must know the meanings of and how to spell.  Spelling is probably easier than mastering the meanings.  They are not assigned WW "homework" in that there is something to turn back in to me.  They do have homework NIGHTLY though; they must STUDY the meanings and spellings each night.  I think many students are not studying because there is no paper to turn in. They need to learn NOW that studying every night is their homework.  Fifteen minutes nightly will reap huge rewards!  Thank you for reinforcing this!
