The October Book!

The Sunshine State Reader we will be reading is Extra Credit by Andrew Clements.

It isn't that Abby Carson can't do her schoolwork, it's just that she doesn't like doing it. And that means she's pretty much failing sixth grade. When a warning letter is sent home, Abby realizes that all her slacking off could cause her to be held back -- for real Unless she wants to repeat the sixth grade, she'll have to meet some specific conditions, including taking on an extra-credit project!

If you want to read more, please join me in reading the October book.

Septemeber Book Flight of the Phoenix

Please obtain the questions from your teacher. We are currently experiencing linking issues on the blog.

September's Book Nook

The September's Book Nook was held on Tuesday and we had 16 students that attended. There was great conversation about the book Captain Nobody. We had our first PTA sponsored drawing for the next month's book. All of the students' names, that participated in the Book Nook, were put into a drawing for our next book. Rachel won the new book, Flight of the Phoenix. Congratulations!
