Tax-Free Weekend!

The annual South Carolina back-to-school tax-free weekend will be August 6-8. You can purchase all your school supplies without sales tax and save some money. For my class, you'll need a binder, a composition notebook, loose-leaf paper, and pens and pencils. Take advantage of this weekend to get ready for school!

SUMMER READING REMINDER

That's right, kids.  Summer is nearly over and you have just enough time to sneak in a novel before you come to my classroom.  Don't forget to read one that is on your list--either for English III or EnglishIV--and do ten journal entries of at least 100 words.  Don't turn in a summary.  Give me good journal entries--why was the book good?,  why didn't you like that character?,  how did the book effect you?, etc.  If you aren't sure what book to read, there are lists at the library, on the school website, and on my website.  Check them out!  And read a book!

Good Summer Reading

Looking for a good book?  Look no further!  I just finished The Wedding, by Nicholas Sparks.  Once again, he didn't disappoint.  This one includes parts of the story of Noah and Allie Calhoun, the main characters from The Notebook.  Its an easy read and has a great ending.  Check it out!
