 Spelling -

The teacher gives out a lit of spelling words, the kids study them, and on Thursday or Friday, they are tested.

As wonderful a tool as the Internet is, it has many sites that are not age-appropriate for our children, sites with opportunities for our children to interact with strangers of all ages, and places that put children at risk for harm such as bullying, personal encounters, and addictive behavior."
