Career Day Was a Success!

Mrs. Buck's update for December 16th 2006

After working on spelling activities and our Word of the Day, we headed to our literacy groups.  We took our 13th spelling test and then practiced handwriting.  Notes about Holy Orders had us asking great questions about the church.  The Herdmans sure are a rowdy bunch of kids.  We all wonder if the pageant will […]
