As Mr. Mahler read the 25 MCBA books this year, he kept a list of interesting vocabulary. Here's proof that reading builds a strong vocabulary! Do you know what they mean? Can you spell them? On January 19th we will hold an old-fashioned spelling bee using this list. Sign up in the LC. First place will earn 10 points, second place 5 points and third 3 points.
Don't be obstinate-- sign up for this edifying experience. It is sure to cause a ruckus!
