Reading
Spelling
Due to a week full of activities to celebrate Lutheran Schools' Week, we will not be beginning a new Reading story or Spelling list next week.  We may have a Spelling Bee for each grade, so a brush-up on old spelling lists may be beneficial!  Spelling City is a great tool for this! 

McDonalds Superstars of the Week:
First Grade - Nate Kibbler
Second Grade - Landon Rickey

Next Week's Book Nook Author:
Dr. Seuss....continued

Thanks for all that you do!  Have a nice weekend and week ahead!
