Friday, October 26 and Monday, October 29, 2012

Friday the 26th was the last day of first term.

To keep the A-Day, then B-Day schedule going, we are using October 29 to finish up watching The Outsiders.   For B7 and B8, the Venn diagram will count on the new term. 

Reminders:  Your next book assessment book -- Basic 8, Book #3 -- will be a science fiction or fantasy novel.  Watch for further instructions, the book sign-up, and a parent approval form.

• See suggested books under the tab above for Required Reading. 
• Check also the Do-Not-Read List. 

• Books you may NOT use for the Book-of-the-Month assignments

•  Special notes on Do-Not-Read:  
• You may not use The Giver or any book you are reading for a literature class.   
• Your book must be from the assigned genre, be over 100 pages, be a book you haven't read before,  and must be approved by the teachers or you will receive a zero on your book assessment.
