October Scholastic Book Club Order forms went home on 9/26. If we order $100 worth of books, our students will all receive a free book, Spirit Animals: The First Greencloak, a Scholastic exclusive. Orders are due October 17, 2014. Every student who orders will also receive a FREE Minecraft bookmark.

**We have a NEW page! Check out the homework page on Ms. Stamer's Main School Notes page.**

If you have any questions or concerns, please email me directly at[email protected]. Please do not email through the School Notes site. Thank you. 

**Language Arts: Regarding Spelling Test for this week: I apologize for the volume of words this week. I did not realize how intense it would be. To rectify this, I will be testing ONLY words #1-15 this week (9/26). Next week, Friday (10/3), I will ONLY test words 1#6-30. Bonus words #1-3 will be on Friday 9/26 and Bonus Words #4-6 will be on Friday 10/3. After next week, when we finish this long list of words, we will ONLY use the Vocabulary Workshop Book and Treasures collection for our spelling words. Our Bonus Words may come for other sources, but there will not be as big a volume as there was this week. Once again, I apologize for any confusion this week. I continue to look forward to a great year with you all.***

September 22, 2014

We will be continuing our studies of plot and character throughout this week. We will also be having our second Spelling Test this week. We will also have our first Reading Comprehension Test this week. Our Vocabulary Workshop Pages will be due on Tuesday (9/23/14).

I have a classroom set of free book coupons to use this book club order. Students who complete a book by Wednesday. Students will need to hand in their completed index card on this book before they receive their coupon. Students may earn their book after this week,but it will go towards our October order.

I look forward to a fantastic week with you all.
