Spelling Words for 5th/6th Graders: Test on Nov 22nd

Here are the spelling words for all 5th and 6th grade students.  The spelling test will take place on Monday, Nov 22nd. 

The challenge words come from the French language.  According to the Scripps Spelling Bee web site, "Before the  Modern English that we speak today was fully settled, the French of the Middle Ages - a direct offshoot of Latin - was widely spoken in the British Isles, as a result of the conquest of Britian by France in 1066."  Bon chance!
