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.

Avocado Seed Planting

Thanks to Mr. Hartlieb, we have an avocado seed in the classroom that is on it's way to becoming a tree. We will need to chart it's growth and monitor the water level. Please read the article below for further information.
