Book Club

Good evening,

As you all know, we did not meet for Book Club today due to Kindergarten registration. Unfortunately, we will not meet for our final book club session until Wednesday of next week due to the holiday on Monday. I hope that everyone is prepared for Wednesday and that you all read over your notes Tuesday night to refresh your memories of key points in the stories.

Additionally, please write a two paragraph summary about the book, without giving away any of the juicy details, and be sure to include whether or not you would recommend this book.

Start thinking of which book you want to read next.

Snow Day

Greetings! I hope you are all enjoying the extended, extended weekend. Although the snow is not fun to play with today, I am hoping you are all able to use the time to work on your Science projects. One student has already submitted his to me! :) Many of you have e-mailed me in reference to our class blog. Thank you for your feedback. If there is something that you or your family think could be added that would improve the blog, please let me know and I will do what I can to add it. I am updating the 'Homework' page to reflect today's snow day. Please note that some tests are being moved back one day. Rest up, and I will see you all tomorrow. Mrs. Hartlieb
