My Favorite ALOT -- But Not a Correct Spelling!


Announcements and Reminders: 
Your brochure based on your February Nonfiction book is due by this Thursday, March 6.  You will need to finish it on your own time or during Cave Time.  I will be in Lab 201 during cave time today.  

If you did not finish your essay about cell phones, see me about taking your essay to finish it. 


Today’s Agenda:

We will spend some time in the media center for you to select a book for your March Book-of-the-Month.

  • You may use the computers to look up books --
  • or browse the shelves for something you'd like.
  • You may sit and read your book once you have found it. 
  • Don't forget to sign up for your book. 


Genre:  Your choice as long as it is 100 pages long or longer and  at an appropriate reading level for you, and would be approved by your parents and teacher. 
The book has to tell a story -- either fiction or nonfiction.

You will receive your assignment for the March Book-of-the-Month.
