BOOK OF THE MONTH: "Just Grace", by Charise Mericle Harper. This is a Fiction chapter book suggested for 3rd and 4th grade.
Reading
Counts Program-(UPDATED
9/10)This
computer managed reading program is for 1st-4th grade students. Kindergarten
students participate as they become ready. Students read books that are
designated RC books. After completing a book, they take a 10 question test.
Some of the incentives for this year are ribbons awarded for 25 and 50 points.
Certificates awarded for 100 and 200 points. Trophies will be awarded this year
to the "top point getters" for each grade level and silver medals will be
awarded for runner up at the end of the year. Also, I plan on having a student
book store again this year where students can "spend" their points.
BLUE RIBBON AWARD (25 Reading Counts Points) (UPDATED 11/05)
RED RIBBON AWARD (50 Reading Counts Points) (UPDATED 11/05)
100 POINTS IN READING COUNTS (UPDATED 11/05)

Pre-K and some of the Kindergarten classes enjoyed "The Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat" this week. They learned about "judging a book by its cover" and how "appearances can be deceiving" in this book. I was really proud of how well they grasped that subject. We also covered some safety issues that came up in the book.
