Reader's Workshop

It’s October 31. 
Today is “It’s not only Halloween today, but it’s also National Carve a Pumpkin Day.”  I wonder why those holidays **coincide.

Trivial Fact of the Day: A snowflake can take up to an hour to fall from a cloud to the surface of the Earth.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Adults are always asking children what they want to do when they grow up because they are looking for ideas.”
--Paula Poundstone (American comedienne)

**Vocabulary Word of the Day:  coincide (verb) – This action word can be used to describe when two (or more) things occur at the same time.  What two (or more) things coincided this morning while you waited for school to start?

SSR (Sustained Silent Reading) will be Iqbal today. When we finish reading the blog, we will begin book clubs. Helpful hint: book, questions, & vocab will be completed by FRIDAY at the end of class. Which means: focus, work, work, work!!!
