Hey Everybody!

I hope you all have had a successful, happy week here at Dickerson.  I know you will enjoy the 3-day weekend ahead.  Don't forget to read EVERY day!  Yes, even on Monday!

  Several people forgot to bring their SIGNED reading logs today.  I hope you remember to bring it on Tuesday.

Speaking of unsigned reading logs.  Several of you have not had either last week's or this week's reading logs signed.  Please remember to get this week's log signed so that I don't need to email your parents.  Parents, if you have not signed a reading log this school year, somebody is forgetting something...

BTW, On Monday I will give a Jolly Rancher to every student who emails me this weekend to tell me how many minutes you have read so far during the weekend.  If your email is not working, visit a friend or have your parents mail me.

I'll see you on Tuesday.

Hello Everybody!

I really did miss you all while I was sick!  I'm glad to be back. 

I hope you have all been reading nightly and filling in your reading log. DON'T FORGET TO GET READING LOGS SIGNED TONIGHT.  I will check them tomorrow.  Also, please bring a silent reading book to class tomorrow.

Parents,

The ESOL web page and its ESOL Blog continues to be a great help to me.  I hope you find it useful!  The link is below:

We have a three-day weekend coming up.  There is no school on Monday.  Does that mean you'll have plenty of time to read?  You bet it does!

See you tomorrow everyone!
