Reading

On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the students will be working on their tri-boards during our class time.  If you have not sent required supplies, please have them here at school by Monday, September 18th.  Our students will present their character to everyone on Thursday, September 21st in the Commons.  Your child should arrive by 6:15 dressed in their costume ready to present.  They have worked very hard and have put a lot of time into this project.  We are so proud of them!!

During the week, when your child is not working on their tri-board, they will be completing a few activities based on the book Wonder.  On Friday, they will be completing these activities as well as working on a project for their Reading Log. If they do not finish their project at school on Friday, September 22nd, they will take the project home to finish and turn in on Friday, September 29th for a major grade.
