I was just reading over the blog while also trying to watch the Pats and the Jags......and was surprised to see the results of the poll. I thought the End of Month Luncheon would have received the most votes. It did not! Reading novels in class got the most votes. This made me feel good, especially after all the complaints last week from students and parents about how boring this week's story in the text book was. We will begin our next novel, Number The Stars on Friday, and a lot of our discussions and notes from the last week will make sense. By the end of the week, your child will be able to discuss WWI, WWII, and the Nazis with any high school kid in America!
This was Danielle's favorite book in 2007!
Be on the lookout this week for new novels in Room 71! Mr. G. went on a pilgrimage to Barnes & Noble with some gift cards in hand (thanks to Mrs. Pickle, Honey Bunny, and Ms. Thompson)!
