We are still working hard on our author letters this week. Our goal is still to have them ready to mail on Friday, November 11. I had a student ask me about postage and envelopes for the letters. I will take care of both. :) I can't wait to get them in the mail at the end of this week.
Starting next week, we will be preparing to begin book clubs. I am hoping we can learn from each other during our book clubs. It is always enlightening to hear their conversations about their books. They become really responsible and hold one another accountable for their reading assignments.

November 9th-End of Trimester 1, AR goals end for Trimester 1
November 10th-Teacher workday-No students
November 11th-Veteran's Program @ 1:00 anyone can attend!
