Week #9: October 9-October 11 and Fall Break!

We've had a great week filled with exploring Nonfiction Notice and Note in the context of nonfiction writing and film. I'm pleased with how students are understanding how to really synthesize their reading. They are such wonderful students and I really enjoy teaching them.

Just a reminder to keep up the home reading...at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. We have 5 book equivalencies that have been due so far. Encourage your child to keep on reading.

To note, our counseling department has a new website: http://www.counseling.lavaridge.net/ that will be a great resource for you and your student. I just wanted to pass along the information.

Students brought home book orders today. Ordering through Scholastic is a wonderful way to build your home library and supply books for the classroom as Scholastic sends free books for our room with each students order. You may order online here: http://theb7robinsnest.blogspot.com/p/scholastic-book-orders.html 
or send your student with cash or check. Orders will be due this month on October 20th.

A big congrats to our Honors class for publishing their very first edition of our school newspaper they named The Golden Gecko Life. Click here to read the newspaper: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1kL1LTmbCwYb1Q2anJHTF92eW8/view  Way to go Honors!!
