We read an excerpt in class, and the students are interested in the book. Still, there is some sexual content, so your signature on the reading log is again necessary. The next reading log is due May 1. Let s all work together to build a love of reading. Students are encouraged to begin finding adult books to build vocabulary and an adult voice in their own work.
Outside reading is an ongoing assignment.
Parents must initial the reading log to approve reading choices for a student. Current homework assignments are always on the board in class. Students should be recording these in their planners. Even strong students find it difficult to manage making up work from absences. Students need to try and come in prepared if they are just absent one day.
