June 26- July 10 Out of Town...

I want to let you all know that I will be out of town for the next two weeks. I will have computer access and try and approve your comments in a timely fashion from June 26-July 1. From July 3-10 I will not have consistent computer access. Please be patient and know that I will approve you comments and get you all back in "blog mode" as soon as I can.

I'm so impressed by what you've done thus far. Keep up the good work and enjoy your reading and enjoy your summer!!!

Happy reading,
Mrs. Breton

NEED YOUR HELP FOR JUNE 23 (TOMORROW)

Forgot to tell you that you would need to be at Bell Hall by 10:00 a.m. See you then!

NEED YOUR HELP FOR JUNE 23 (TOMORROW)

Mr. Searcy is going to be filming a short video tomorrow about our new I Pad technology, and he needs some middle schoolers to be in this video. I will be there, and if your parents are ok with it and can bring you, you can, too. Please wear normal school attire. If you are able to attend, please post yes in the comment section. I'm so excited about the new technology! Are you?!

Second Summer Reading Book Selections-1 post

Obviously some of you have yet to send in your summer reading selection, but I wanted to go ahead and post those I have received so you can begin discussing and blogging if you have the same book. I will post more selections as they come in.

Also, some of the 7th graders are reading the same books as you all. Please feel free to look on their summer reading blog at the second summer reading book list to see if your book is being read. Feel free to contact them, as well, so that you can share your experiences. Their summer reading blog is www.sas7summerreading.blogspot.com

It has also come to my attention that some of you might be having a hard time finding a list of award winning books. Mrs. Solomon sent me the link to the media center's web page. It has a list of award winner links on the bottom of the right of the page. Please go to the link below and scroll down to find it. Thanks, Mrs. Solomon!
