We will celebrate summer birthdays the last week of school. Reading Counts will begin in September. Scholastic Book Orders: Please turn in any orders for books to me. I will not give a due date,, but will place the order when I have enough. Remember to use our classroom code (Q6YXD) so we can earn points to build our classroom library!
