2.  Reading:  Teacher read aloud:  The Case That Time Forgot

3.  Student reading:  Independent choice of MYSTERY.  Students need to choose a mystery book to read for the month of September. They are to write a formal Response to Literature along with Author’s Purpose. The reading response is due Sept. 28th.
