Hello, and welcome back to school!  I hope everyone enjoyed their breaks.  We will be continuing spelling this term, but it will be a different process.  I will assign 12 words every Monday.  Each student is to write a definition for each word, use each word in a sentence, and divide the word into syllables.  This part of the assignment will usually be due on Wednesdays, (Thursday for this week).  On Friday there will be a test on those 12 words, but just of the spelling.

Here are this week's words...
federal
cannibal
factory
gallery
manual
parasol
sentinel
resident
myriad
slippery
tyranny
symphony
