Conference slips were handed out on Friday, October 3 (sibling conference

The first marking period book report was given out on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 
2008.  All mystery books need to be approved by Mrs. Smith by Monday, Sept. 
29, 2008.  Please refer to your rubric and guide while working on the

reports are due on or before October 31, 2008. Don't wait until the last 
minute start now and enjoy!

Scholastic Book Orders can now be done online!  I will still be collecting 
money/checks or you can use the online option.  If you'd like to do it 
online, here's how it works:
1.	Use the information below to access the Scholastic Book Clubs Web 
site.
2.	Browse the titles with your child, and place your order with your 
credit card.
3.	Your order will come to me, and your credit card payment will go 
directly to Scholastic's secure server. There's no need to send money to 
school.
4.	After I submit the entire class's order to Scholastic, your order 
will be delivered to our classroom for your child to take home.

reading for at least 140 minutes a week and getting your reading calendar 
signed.
