2nd Quarter Book Report: The 2nd quarter book report will be to read a mystery or adventure book. After reading the book, the children should make a mobile to tell about the story. The mobile should have the title and the author, and should show the characters, setting, or any other key items in the story. The children are all capable of reading longer books. The book that is read for the book report should reflect your child’s reading ability. Book reports are due by November 26th. This book report should be given without any notes, and should include the characters, setting, and key events in the story.
Noah’s Ark Dive into Reading Program: Are you keeping track of the time you read for the Dive into Reading program? The time read for the Reading Log and time spent reading for the book report and Book-It can all be used for this program. Keep in mind that this program is optional.
Book-It: For November, your child needs to read 2 AR books at level 3.3 or higher. They need to pass the test (at least 8 out of 10 questions correct, or 80%). Once again, there will be a grade for this assignment (100% if completed, 0% if not completed).
Picture Retakes: November 13th is the day for picture retakes. If you didn’t like how your child’s pictures turned out, just return the packet to school by November 13th, and we’ll have your child’s picture retaken.

Next Week’s Memory:
8th commandment
You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
What does this mean?
