Holy Spelling List Batman

There's no denying that Chase is one smart cookie. This kid has always enjoyed school and found it very easy. And we finally found a teacher who encourages him to try harder and who gives him things that aren't too easy for him. She talked to me last week about giving Chase harder spelling lists that were more to his ability level. Here's some of the words on the list that came home yesterday:

absorption
inoculate
deciduous
slough
simian
malleable
indigenous
proboscis (I'd never even heard this one and had to look it up to pronounce it! LOL)

Now keep in mind, Chase is in 4th grade. He's only 10 years old. These are some HARD words! But he soaked it all up like the smart little sponge that he is.
