Our New Snack Time Book Club Selection Is...

Canned by David Shearer!

PERFECT FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR!

From Amazon.com:

Publication Date: March 1, 2008
Age Level: 8 and up

A boy finds a one-word message -- HELP! -- sealed in a tin can and is sucked into a thrillingly gruesome adventure.

Fergal Bamfield doesn't collect stamps like normal kids. He's an oddball (his mother prefers to call him "clever"), and his collection is as strange as everything else about him. Fergal Bamfield collects tin cans.

Then one day he finds a can without a label. What could be in it? Peaches, soup, perhaps revolting spam? But instead it's something gruesome. Then Fergal finds another can, this time containing a one-word message, HELP! Now Fergal and his friend Charlotte are knee-deep in an adventure, and they're about to learn something horrible: Everybody has an expiration date.

There will be No School on Monday, October 8, 2012


All Fawn Hollow Fourth Graders will participate in the Mile Run on Tuesday, October 9th. Your child will need to wear/bring sneakers on this day even if it is not his/her regular day for Physical Education. The raindate for this event is October 10th.

Fawn Hollow Picture Days are Wednesday, October 10th, and Thursday, October 11th. Order forms were sent home via backpacks earlier this week.  Room 10 is scheduled for October 10, but will go on October 11 if the 10th has to be used as Mile Run raindate.

I missed your kids these past two days I was away.  I learned so much and am excited about implementing a lot of the new strategies I learned at the Annual Connecticut Reading Conference.  But it is nice to be back.

Enjoy the long weekend.
