IMPORTANT:  Because we have not been able to get to the library as early as I would have liked, I am going to have to schedule your first Independent Reading Quiz for September 20th. I know that seems very soon, but if you haven't been working on a book from home or from the class library, you have options for shorter things to read before the quiz date. You could choose a brief magazine article or newspaper article instead of a full-length novel. I will let you know when the other quizzes will be.

See you tomorrow. Just a warning, it's going to be very 80's in room 615! Bring your neon and your big hair! :)
