Contact Info:  mghicks@blountboe.net
                    Leave me a voicemail at HMS and I will return your call.  I will admit, I am MUCH better at returning emails than phone calls.
 
 If you have any school appropriate magazines around the house, I would love to have them!!  I am always collecting donations of magazines, books, etc. 
 
Novels we'll be reading: (can be revised)
  1. Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli (1st nine weeks, in class)
  2. Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix (4th nine weeks)
  3. When Zachary Beaver Came to Town (2nd nine weeks)
  4. A Wrinkle in Time (3rd nine weeks, in class)
If  you would like to buy your student  a personal copy of the books (suggested), you can find them at Books a Million, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, etc.  Please-- don't read ahead. It ruins the magic of reading the novel in the context of the lessons.  If you are curious about the content or genre of these books, wikipedia.com is a great place to get a generic summary or sparknotes.com.
