This was SUCH a spectacular (good Storytown vocab word, Ms. C.!) book!!
Please respond (this is optional of course) on either or both of the following questions:
** What do you think would be a good plot for the sequel of this book?
** What did you think of the ending of this book? Is there another way you would have ended it?

Happy New Year to those who are celebrating Rosh Hashanah this weekend!
If you are observing/celebrating the holiday this weekend, you do NOT have to complete the homework for Monday. You can if you want to, but it is not required. The reading homework is actually not due until Tuesday anyway, but if you need an extension since the holiday is throughout the whole weekend, just have your parents write me a note and you can have until Thursday of next week to complete it.
Even if you’re not celebrating the holiday over the weekend and need more time to complete your homework, please just have your parents write me a note stating you weren’t able to complete your homework and need an extension. This way, every one has enough time to celebrate the holiday and those who are not celebrating still have the same options for homework completion.
All of the homework will be due next week – I’m only offering a temporary extension to coincide with the holiday.
Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend! I can’t wait to see you Monday!
Ms. Colbert
