The Ape Authors & STAR Student!

We presented our Scary Stories to the class today. Now some students know what it is like to be published. Mrs. Peck and I are very proud of the hard work that came from Rooms 71 and 73 over the last few weeks. Look for SCARY STORIES FROM ROOM 71 on bookshelves by the end of October. Great job APES!

We will finish Maniac Magee and Poppy on Friday. We thoroughly enjoyed both novels and will be counting them towards our 50 Book Count!
By now, your child should have read at least 4 books on their own. If they have not, they will be spending their End of Month Luncheon in another room! End of Month Luncheon is our chance to present to our parents, and to celebrate our accomplishments.
