731 and 702 will take a midterm assessment on Friday, Oct. 17. Please mark anything that confuses you in your Reader's or Writer's Sourcebooks with a question mark. We will review on Thursday.

****UPDATE****Reader's Sourebooks will be collected Monday Oct. 20. We originally planned to collect them Thursday, but we want to give you an opportunity to use the Reader's Sourcebook as a study tool. Review notes from both Sourcebooks to prepare yourselves for the test.

Reading Logs will still be collected on Thursday. Please DO NOT FORGET TO BRING THEM TO CLASS. They should be complete - including logs for every school day plus at least one log per weekend/holiday.

702 is creating a very cool bilingual dictionary that we will post and add to in our classroom. 731 will do the same soon.

Have a great time on the trip. I will be at school administering the PSAT. (Don't have TOO much fun without me).
