We have started a short story unit that will roll into a writing piece focusing on character change. Students went home with a short story tonight and a graphic organizer to record notes about the main character. Their goal is to read 3 of the short stories by Monday. For some students finishing 2 will be enough.

Sarah K will be here this Friday. Students will be exploring the layers of the earth with Sarah K tomorrow. Have a conversation with your student about geology and the amazing layers within our planet.

Picture day for our class is Wednesday, September 21st. Forms went home today!

Please turn-in Mt. St Helens permission slips and payment as soon as possible. It's going to be a great trip.
