Classroom Library

Dear Parents,
I am in the process of checking my library for missing books. Students are allowed to check out books but they must have a student sign off when they turn it in. If they do not do this, I have no clue if they returned any of my novels. All students knew of this policy. I have had many generous donations of new books for my classroom library. I have tried to keep high interest novels of all genres. In order to keep the classroom library stocked I have to charge students for any missing books just like a regular library. They are held accountable for the books they check out and return. Please help your child look around the house and car for any missing books. I have tried to mark all of my books with my name on the sides... King. Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Mrs. King

Please make sure you finish your stories and be ready to assemble your books on Monday. You can do this over the weekend if you would like. You will need to bring in your materials on Monday. I want your Children's book to read like a short story......Once again, Please complete them over the weekend and be ready to create your book on Monday. Books are due on Tuesday.

Students must finish research and begin writing Children's Book. You will need your material to make your children's book tomorrow in class.

This Week....

We are starting Nonfiction this nine weeks. :) Students are starting a biography project and should be working on this at home. We will be creating Children's Books with the information. Please help your child with this project. They will need materials to create their book. Ideas for materials: Construction Paper, Scrapbook paper, wrapping paper, cardboard, Cereal Boxes...any type of boxes, glue, tape, stickers, glitter, ribbons, etc. They can use anything around the house. Be creative :)

I did not assign Weekly Essentials this week for homework.... so the only homework assignments are reading and the biography.
