� Book Day � With a great deal of hard work and good behavior, the class has filled three shell jars to earn a book day.  We will spend the entire day on November 20, reading, writing, and talking about books.  We will have extra read aloud, free reading, creative writing, sharing of favorite books, and even our own Battle of the Books quiz game.  Students will be asked to bring in favorite books (one current and another from young childhood), as well as a cozy item such as a sleeping bag or pillow.
