We will have a Spelling Test this week on List 9.  We will have a test on Wednesday and a test on Friday.  Please begin studying the day you get the list. Mix the words up as you help your child study.  Flash cards are great to use!!

If you ever have any questions concerning your child's progress, please feel free to call the elementary school office (601-758-4289) to schedule a conference. I have specific conference times each day. You can also email me from this website or to my Lamar County School District address at www.nina.daley@lamarcountyschools.org.
