I reminded the students that believe it or not we are rounding the bend towards the end of term 3! There will be a fair number of tests and other assessments over the next few weeks. Also, just a reminder that independent reading is always something that can be done. There is the book list to fill in as they go. Students will need one completed fiction books under their belt soon for an assessment of their understanding of the literary term "plot". Healthy snacks, both those brought from home and those enjoyed from our fruit and vegee baskets are still very popular. I understand there was a successful salad club last year. I will start this up, organizing it this week and beginning in earnest next week. I am also finding that flex block time is beginning to settle in to a time when most students have decided on projects and are enthusiastically working on them. Some are already on their second one for the year.

- If your child has been participating in the healthy fruit and vegetable snacks, it would be helpful if you could send in some money to help pay for some more.If funds dry up, I will look upon the month as "Healthy Snack Encouragement Month".

Homework:
English Lit:
Ongoing: Keep reading at least 15 minutes a day and fill out your booklist form as you go. Your Independent Reading Duotang is due on Wed. Nov. 17. Though your booklist is right now kept in your Travel Folder, you will put it in your duotang when it is full or when the duotang is due.
