Reading Logs

Since we have had less time for the fourth quarter and we have been so busy with other things, I am only requiring 750 pages to be read. The assignment will be worth 75 points in the gradebook, so if you have only read 600 pages, for example, your grade will be a 60/75. I will collect your logs next Tuesday and Wednesday (the 29th and 30th), so don't forget them.

Also, all classroom library books must be turned in by these days. There are many of you who still have books out...most of which are overdue. Do not forget that when you signed the syllabus at the beginning of the year, you agreed to be held responsible for any books that are lost or stolen. If you know you lost the book, go ahead and purchase a new copy of the book (or a similar book of equal value) and give it to me to make up for the one you lost. There have been quite a few items that have been broken or stolen from my room over the year --- do not let my books be one of those things! You go to a school of leadership; please show that with your actions. Parents, all of my books have "Fifield" or "Hollo" written on the edges. If you see a book with this on it, please send it with your student.

Don't forget, the FOCUS extra credit work is due this Thursday and Friday!
