Welcome
back after what I hope was a great summer vacation. The IMC has a
late opening this year because of the testing -- MAPs and Aimsweb --
that are taking place during the weeks of September 3rd and 9th.
Fortunately we were able to find three days next week so that all
grades can come to the IMC for book check-out. 8th grade will be in
Monday, 6th grade on Wednesday, and 7th grade on Friday. I will
present a short IMC orientation program (review for 7th and 8th
grade). Then I will book talk several books that fit the theme your
teachers have given me. Then you have the opportunity to make your
selection for your first book report of the year. After you find,
have approved, and check out your book report book, you are welcome
to select other books that you have been waiting to read.
There
is still time to turn in Reading Logs of your summer reading and get
prizes. With the delayed IMC opening, I couldn't hold to the day
after Labor Day due date. But September 13th is the absolute last turn
in day.
We
would also like you to return any summer checkouts before we have to
print overdue notices. Please check carefully at home that you didn't
forget to return any.
I
look forward to seeing all of you next week. The IMC will open for
full service on Monday, September 16th.
