PLEASE REMEMBER:  We need permission slips and money turned in for the King 
Tut field trip by December 1.

We will be going to the Book Fair on Wednesday.  If you would like to make 
any purchases, this would be a good day to send money.

We will be back to work again this week as usual.  The sixth grade will be 
wrapping up their study of Egypt and then continue onto Kush.  We will begin 
India immediately after the Winter holiday.

Both groups will be working on their published book projects in class and 
possibly at home depending on how much they accomplish in class.  We will not 
begin a new class novel before the holidays.  This means that outside reading 
is more important than ever!!

Students need to be reading independently outside of class.  The Accelerated 
Reader program is independent and should be considered their responsiblity.  
Also, book reports are considered homework assignments.  Some students are 
trying to accomplish this during class time and the finished product is not 
as well-constructed as it should be.
