I'm very BIG into contracts for homework......math ones to be uploaded later...... The last few years completion of HW has dropped significantly, but once I implemented contracts, something new and fresh for them, the rate of completion went up. (don't get me wrong I still have some students that rarely do any!) When it comes to spelling, I follow the Harcourt Trophies spelling words (although I do teach novels more than all the stories in the series). The worksheets I tend to do in class as Independent or Partner work..........I also give my spelling test Monday. My mentor always had and I thought that was just weird, but I noticed a difference in her scores so I decided to give it a shot. (now I understand she also teaches different and their are numerous factors for her scores but I'm always down to try something!) Below is the link : (only bad part is you can't see the font of the title which is Scrabble letters, again I downloaded it from www.fontgardens.com )

Still don't know how to link documents easily. Going to have to do some asking!
