It is officially Autumn, and October is around the corner!

Happy fall!  Thank you to all who were able to make it in for Open House last week!  It was great seeing you and your families.  Your students have already completed two small projects and presentations this year, and we will finish our first "read-aloud" book this week.  Ask your students for some details about Freak the Mighty!  We hope to watch the film version "The Mighty" later this week.   Overall, it has been quite a positive start to the year!












Remember the dates: school pictures will be on October 6 and 7 (more details will come out soon).

Below is a link to a listing and description of this year's Dorothy Canfield Fisher books.  Mr. Murphy  has most of them in his room and is waiting for the last few to arrive.  Students have already begun or completed many of these titles for their individual reading work.

Please note that when the web site appears, the left-hand margin shows the books broken down into their genres.  If you are a huge fan of "adventure" books, click on that genre on the left of the screen, and you will have a smaller list of "Dorothy's List" books to consider.
