SPELLING
Correct spelling is expected of 5th grade students.
In most instances, the word is correct in the text and just
needs to be copied. The awareness becomes habit.
Students develop into good spellers by:
· being aware and accountable for correct spelling, and
· copying the word correctly every time when used.
Weekly Spelling Tests will help prepare you on commonly
miss-spelled words!
Conventions
COMPLETE SENTENCES
Complete sentences are expected from 5th grade
students.
A complete sentence will:
· be legible and express a complete thought
· have the first word capitalized of the sentence
· name the subject (no pronouns, “it”, “this”, “there”,
“yes/no, because”, etc. are allowed—be clear and direct)
· have subject and verb agreement (plural with plural;
singular with singular)
· have proper punctuation
The expectation of answering in complete sentences helps
you to become better communicators as well as clarify
your own thought processes and understanding of
ideas.
