Hello, everyone! Welcome to our "All About Alton Week." We will be studying the history of Alton for both guided reading and social studies this week. We will be doing activities and reading about Robert Wadlow, Elijah P. Wadlow, Lewis and Clark, Rufus Easton, and more! Our field trip will be on Friday. We are hoping for good weather! Please be sure to wear comfortable clothing and good shoes for walking.

Since we will not be going on to our next lesson in Storytown, the basic spelling and challenge lists will look a little different. Our spelling test will be on Thursday.
