Hello 4th Grade!!

I hope the Fourth was with you Monday! This week, we are reading an informational book about a family pulled into the Civil War, even though they were not soldiers. 

Hello 5th Grade:

Still missing last assignment from many of you. Google Classroom says “turned in”, but I cannot find it. Please make sure that you actually did it.

This week: Follett Book Reviews!

Choose a book that you have read recently and do a review. Below is a video to remind you how to log on. You will need to go to gofollett.com. Your username is the first initial of your first name, followed by your last name. For ex. catkins. Your password is your first initial of your first name, followed by the first initial of your last name. For ex. ca. You have to be logged in to leave a review. If the book you would like to review is not currently in our catalog, you can message me the title and author. If I can download the record for the book, I will. If I can’t you will need to choose another title. 

Hello Mrs. Grabfelder’s Class!

The final stories in The Stinky Cheeseman and Other Fairly Stupid Tales. At the end of the book,  I will talk about a part of the book on the back called the ISBN. It stands for International Standard Book Number. The ISBN is a identification number for every book published. There is usually (but not always) a barcode with the ISBN. This also includes each version if the book published. If a book comes in paperback and hardback, the hardback will have one ISBN, and the paperback will have its own ISBN. I can scan the ISBN and access information about the book on different websites and databases that involve books. We do NOT use the ISBN to check out books. Libraries use their own barcode and labeling system for checkouts. 

900 books read so far this year. Great job!
