Mismatching, Misplacing Mattie (mid-, mis-)

Please help Mismatching, Misplacing Mattie out! She can't seem to get her stuff together. She misprinted some of her words and misplaced her spelling words. Her earrings, hair, sock, and shoes mismatch because she picked it out at midnight!

Study your spelling words (not at midnight) so you can help her out this Friday.
