Spelling Test 10/29/14

Here is the next set of spelling words:

The spelling pattern for this set of words is the use of the apostrophe showing the connection between two words.  Remember, the apostrophe takes the place of an absent letter.  So when you use the word, make sure the sentence is sensible.  The last few words are review.
