There is no school on Friday, October 24, for students. Picture Day is Wednesday, October 22. Forms went home last week. Please send in any money ASAP.

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.
