- Students will take their first reading benchmarks, giving a starting point from which to track their growth throughout the year.
 - Back-to-School Night is Wednesday at 6:30. Please come; I'd love to share our plans for the year with you.
 - Also, to help students succeed, I will give them the tools to understand how they learn best so they can match study strategies with their own learning style.
 - And, we will begin our introduction to the PLOT and the GENRE of literature.
