October 27-31

              First, let me apologize for the late post.  I was not at school yesterday. A very dear friend lost her battle with colon cancer over the weekend and my family and I attended the funeral in Broken Bow.  She was my age and only received the diagnosis on June 30th.  It just takes my breath away how unpredictable life can be.  She was the mother of a 9th and 6th grader so keep them, along with her husband, in your prayers and give your 6th grader a big ol' hug...even if they don't want it.  :)
           
                 So, all of that along with the copier being down over the weekend has this week off to an unusual start.  We are just going to adjust and be flexible this week.

•   There will be NO SPELLING (insert shouts of joy here).  
• We took a reading test today (Tuesday).  I will grade them tonight so that students can come in during lunch on Wednesday and Thursday to make corrections on any grade below a 70.  
• KEEP READING library books.  I did not get an official extra credit reading paper typed to hand out, but read and pass tests on extra books and they will be extra credit.
