Reading

Every night your child should be reading a minimum of 30 minutes, and logging his/her thoughts about the pages he/she has read. Each student must complete a weekly reading log and maintain a copy to be turned in as part of his reading grade.

Parents please provide your initials to verify your child has read and logged individual thoughts. I will check student logs on Monday. *This assignment is worth 2 points daily*
