Reading: (Segal) Parents, I sent out a new time sheet to record independent reading progress. Students should be on their second sheet if they have been filling in their progress every night. I am trying to get a sense of who is reading these posts.  Can you please email me to confirm you are receiving this information. If not too many are taking advantage of this form of communication, perhaps I will try another way to contact you. You can write me at   CSegal@cps.edu   Much appreciated, Craig Segal

Social Studies: By end of week, students should have read up to Ch.7 of Warriors Don't Cry.  With parental request, I can send home a copy of the book.  Please advise.  Also, feel free to view the segment of "Eyes on the Prize" that deals with this period of history. We have been watching short excerpts in class, but a second viewing with parents to stimulate further thinking would be of great benefit!  -CS
