Today in Language Arts the students were taken to the book fair.  Many students were interested in purchasing Divergent since we will be focusing on this book later this school year.  Unfortunately, the book fair ran out of copies.  They took down the names of students who are interested in purchasing books and they will be getting more copies tomorrow.  I told students who signed up to purchase this book that they can go during Language Arts to pick up their order and pay for it.  I believe the book costs $12.  We are not requiring that the students own their own copy of the book.  We will have school copies to use.  However, some students want to own their own copy so they can take it home and write notes in it.

With the remainder of our class time, we completed our story board for the books we are creating.  These will need to be done tomorrow in order to start working on rough drafts.

All field trip money is due on Thursday.  Remember, if a student gets one detention, an R and R class, a suspension, or any grade lower than a C in any class, the student will be ineligible to go on the field trip next Monday.  These rules were put into effect last Friday and students are well aware of them.

Lastly, conferences will be taking place between 4 and 7 tomorrow night.  I am scheduled to meet with a parent from 5 until 5:15 in the office but other than that, I should be in my classroom.

Have a great evening!
