We have begun our first Social Studies project, an early exploration booklet, in class this week.  It will be done mostly in class, but occasionally parts of it will be assigned for homework. 

I haven't assigned AR goals yet but will do so by next Monday.  In the meantime, I'm encouraging my students to take AR tests when they complete a book and to be diligent about their reading homework.  I really appreciate how engrossed they are in their books during silent reading in class!

I've sent home Scholastic book order forms.  Your child may bring your order to class or you may order online.  My access code is GNZFR. Unfortunately, I was only able to get the 5th grade order form this year.  I will try grab a higher level (Tab) order form later this week.  If I am unsuccessful and you would like to browse other Scholastic order booklets, you can find these on the Scholastic Books website.  You may then order from any booklet you like.  I'll be sending in our first class order in about 2 weeks. Thanks!
