A few Reminders

Hey guys,

Pretty good week this week.  It’s nice to have the whole thing for a change.  Monday is the day I will mail the order forms for the Monster book.  I have sent out an email to people who I haven’t seen anything from yet.  If you want one you need to have the form in.

Halloween Candy

I don’t know if this was ever posted about but I do allow Halloween candy at snack for the week after Halloween, I’m not a total grouch.  But the week is now up and I will no longer allow students to eat candy at snack time.  I will tell them about it, but I’m sure they will try to sneak it past me.

Spelling Lists

I’m sorry it’s taken so long but I haven’t quite gotten the page finished for the spelling lists.  But when I do it will be awesome and you will be able to look to see what we are working on each week and be in the know for the rest of the year.

The Arrival

We have started our new Storyline called the Arrival.  It is a book based Storyline based on a book by the same name from an Australian author named Shaun Tan.  The book is completely without words.  We have only seen chapter one of the book.  We are creating characters that go on a journey along with his character.  All we know so far is that our characters have to leave everything they know behind and go out in the unknown.  The Arrival is a book that is growing in popularity and is widely available. I told the kids if they wanted to be surprised then they should stay away from the book.  If they do choose to look they should make sure not to spoil it for others.  But Shaun Tan has lots of really great books to check out at the library.  You can check him out at http://www.shauntan.net/

Monster Book

I will send off the Monster book orders next Monday.  I have been assured that the books will arrive by December 14th.

Have a great weekend!
