Welcome Back to School!

I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you all back to school! I am looking forward to a really good year this year.

Students:

You probably have been reading this summer. If you come to school with the following by Friday, August 24th, you'll get extra credit, as well as credit toward your 25 Book Goal:

On separate sheets of paper, answer the following questions about your books. Be sure you put the title of the book, the author's name, and the number of pages in the book on each sheet (remember, if you have forgotten any of this information, you can find it on Amazon.com). The questions are:

1. Summarize your book in one paragraph.
2. Tell me why you liked or disliked this book.
3. Make one connection with the book.

Good luck! Get started on your extra credit!

Parents:

Look for my letter to you to come home with your child on Monday, August 20th. Please read it, and discuss it with your child, then sign the Behavior Contract and have your child return it to me.

I plan to use this blogsite to communicate with you weekly, so please record the address somewhere so you can access the site regularly. I will include information about the class, as well as links to other sites that will help you help your child to be a better student. If there is anything you would like to see on this site, please email me and I'll add it in. My email address is

shortk@dreamsbeginhere.org

Feel free to use it, or to call me. This is going to be a great year!
