Students are expected to have a binder and loose leaf for class.  Students have started reading the Independant Novel, The Hobbit, in class.  Some students have it signed out already and those who have not will be getting it by the end of the week.  The Independant Novel Study is due in December and the assignment will be given out by late October.  We are beginning each class with a 10 minute silent reading period, so students have to remember their novels.  Those who have their Echoes Text signed out need to remember it for next class.
