Out Of Class Reading!

Hello-

I have finally put together the expectations for out of class reading. Participation in the reading program, as it is set up, will be dependent on having a Shelfari account. Students will need an email address to set this up. They do not need to have their own, simply one that they can use to register; they may use yours if you are o.k. with that. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how that works. For first quarter, since we only have 3 weeks left, I am giving very low reading minimums, HL = 150 and SL = 100. Kids are encouraged to set reading goals that are appropriate for themselves. I am including the links for all reading log material at the right side bar. Please be sure to look at the following:
1. The Reading Contract
2. The Shelfari Information
3. Reading Log

Reading contracts with a parent signature were due today. Very few kids handed them in, so please ask them about it.

Reading Logs will be due on Wednesday, 11/ 3/10.

ALSO!! Today in class we began writing a formal paragraph on the end of TSB. The directions are here: Cole's Transformation Paragraph

I have handed out Vocab 4 and it is due next Tuesday. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get it loaded here. Perhaps later today or over break I will get that done. There is currently a formatting issue that needs to be overcome.

Kids To Do:
Vocab Lesson 4
Reading Contract
Get reading!!!
Fill out your Shelfari Reports!

Adults To Do:
Discuss the Reading Contract with your student
Find out more from your student about Shelfari and let Ms. Z know if you have questions/ concerns

Have a great break!!
