A "Novel" Time

Dear Parents and Students:

Now that the descriptive essay is behind us, we are turning our attention to our next agenda item-----an in class novel. The book is entitled Deathwatch by Robb White and will take about six weeks. Students will complete work along the way including a project due Friday (3-5).

Please continue the two hours of outside reading and having Mom/Dad sign your planner. As usual, I will check for parent signatures on Mondays.

Thank you,
Mrs. Munro (Cougar Fan)

January----Ready or Not!

Dear Parents and Students:

Thanks for all the concentrated effort the first day back! Below you will find the LA agenda for most of January:

1) Continue getting those parent signatures for Mondays! Keep up with those two hours of outside reading weekly and be sure to include your book title, number of pages read, and parent signature in the school planner.

2) Gear up for our mid-year evaluations! Doing this first week of January expect to complete a "writing on demand" assessment followed by the STAR reading test.

3) Get your pencils sharpened! Our next 100 point writing piece is due Monday (1-25). It will be a descriptive essay that we'll start Tuesday (1-12). The topic is a secret at this point, but I promise it will be tasty!

Thanks,
Mrs. Munro (Cougar Fan)
