Grade 3 list of the week: partner, hard, chart, farm, start, large, more, before, horse, north, morning, care, stare, warning. DD8's September in-school testing showed she was spelling at a Grade 6 level so we asked for harder words--her teacher said it "wouldn't be fair to the other children." Still trying to wrap my head around that one. A gifted IEP meeting with the principal, gifted teacher, and class teacher didn't produce any change, so...school-shopping again!
