The PM Class is currently reading Zach's Lie, an adventure novel by Roland Smith about a boy whose family must be placed into the Witness Security Program after his father is arrested for illegal drug trafficking. The AM Class is reading Jack's Run, the equally engaging sequel.
I have encouraged my students from both classes to read independently the companion novel the other class is reading so they can know the whole story. Some students have already started, and at least one or two have finished the other book already.
Roland Smith is the author of several other adventure novels. For more information visit his web site at this link:

Both titles are available from Scholastic Book Clubs. December book club newsletters will be distributed Monday, November 19, and the deadline for orders is Monday, December 3.

Very nice and what a great idea for parents to stay informed about what is happening in their child's class. Are you going to share about your visitors you had last Wednesday?
You can bet there will be a post about the Great American Teach-In and the speakers who shared their lives and careers with us.
