     The children are doing a good job of reading their AR books.  Last quarter most of the children made their goals.  This quarter the goal is to read and report on 8 books.  Let's see if we could all reach our goal.  Some already have a great start. The fourth quarter prize is a free ticket to a Timber Rattlers' game. We will even have a special Faith Day at the stadium.
     A Unit 2 spelling list will be sent home this week. Please keep reviewing the words.  Let your child spend some time on Spelling City playing word games to review the list.  The test will be on Monday of next week.
GOD'S BLESSINGS!
