Reminders

Book reviews (2), book log (2 fiction, 1 nonfiction), and reading minute calendars (300 minutes) are all do at the end of the month.  Check with your child to make sure he/she is filling out their reading minute calendar and book log.  

We're half way though the month! Urge your child to finish up their first book review so they won't have to cram at the end of the month.  While book reviews are not due until the end of the month, students may turn them in early if they complete them before the due date.  
*Remind your child to look at the book review scoring guide so they can be sure and include all the information needed for their book review.
