AR Deadline is NOW! Needed NINE POINTS!!!

Just remember that this week is the last week to get those AR points. They will count on your Reading grade. We have read several books during the first nine weeks! Take those tests...remember that each student's goal will be individualized according to their score on the STAR test.

Personal Book Story: I recently finished reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. In this book, there was a thought-provoking quote that I want to share with you. At the beginning, the first statement is a metaphor. Read the quote and share your thoughts......

Time is a river...and books are boats. Many volumes start down that stream, only to be wrecked and lost beyond recall in its sands. Only a few, a very few, endure the testings of time and live to bless the ages following.

"There is a reason these volumes survived, while others vanished. The ancient spiritual texts-- the most studied books on earth--were, in fact, the least understood."
