Read for at least two hours per week outside of school time. Some read 15 minutes here and there, others have a set time they use each week...as long as you are reading I am happy. :)
Grade 8 Book Talks November 3rd and 4th.
Grade 7 Bystander News Report Presentations due November 5th. I cannot wait to see you bring your scenes to life! Reading two hours each week outside of school too please.
Thanks so very much and have a great day!

Last week of October Update
Congratulations to 7F for having the highest at home reading report. Two hours per week at home certainly adds up and you are on the right track. Congratulations to 8E for being the most improved group! Something tells me the November 30th check point is going to be interesting.
At the end of the day...you all win by reading.
