Housekeeping: 

- We are starting book talks very soon, so HAVE THE KIDS TURN OFF THE T.V., CANCEL THE NETFLIX ACCOUNT, TAKE AWAY THEIR PHONES AND MAKE THEM READ!  Students will be presenting any book they have read since September, and regrettably some are still on their first book.  Between now and the Winter Break, students should be finishing their book and even re-reading their novels.
