Wednesday and Thursday are Parent Teacher Conferences. We will have half days of school. Students will be dismissed at 12:00pm. Conferences begin at 1pm on Wednesday and Thursday and end at 3pm. Thursday, 10/16, will also have an evening session starting at 5pm and ending at 7pm. Parents are asked to come during the allotted time and wait in the hallway for the teacher(s) they would like to see.  

A lot of students are getting close to being 1/4 of the way done with the 40 Book Challenge. It is very exciting to see so many students engaged in reading. There are some incentives to the challenge that have been added within the past week.

• After reading 1 book, and completing an index card for the book, students will receive a FREE book coupon for Scholastic Book Club.
• After reading 10 books, students will receive another FREE book club coupon.
• If students complete the entire 40 Book Challenge, they will receive a special, surprise gift.

The 40 Book Challenge is NOT a requirement, however, the Reading Response Journals ARE required. Students are expected to be reading each week. This book (or books) that they are reading should be talked about in their Reading Response Journal letters.

We finished our first read a loud book, The Fourteenth Goldfish. Our class really enjoyed the book. We have begun our Global Read Aloud book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. We are continuing to work on our Mysterious Beeping Noise stories, and our studies of verbs. 

I look forward to a fantastic week with you all.
