Due on 12/17/09:
* Your current Reading Log will be due on Thursday! Be sure it is signed by your parent.
* Bring in your treat to share with the class on Thursday while we make our "final drafts" of our papers. I'll bring pepperoni rolls and water, and we'll eat whatever treats you guys bring in, so you won't have to bring any lunch on that day.
