Announcements and Reminders:                               We have only 15 days of school left, not counting today.     Let's plan on our field trip to the cemetery on May 17.   Check with parents to see if any can come.  We need two or more.

Check your composition book to make sure you collected words and phrases from The Graveyard Book last time.

Read quietly in your own book, or Holes.  2a.  Meet with your __7___ o'clock appointment to talk about this:  Which character in your book would you most want to spend a day with?  What would you do? 3.
