BTW....

With the upcoming School Book Fair during conferences, I've decided not to send home any Scholastic Book Order forms.  This way, Book Fair profits will help the entire school rather than just Room 10!

I will be sending home Order Forms again after the April break!

Thanks.

Project #2

With the success of the last independent project - it's time for another!

On Friday, March 22, students were given a timeline for a book project due April 12.  The timeline is as follows:

  • Start thinking of a book of fiction to read and do the project on.  Use www.scholastic.com/bookwizard and choose Guided Reading Level to check on the book's level.
  • By Wednesday, March 27, students must bring in the book and/or title for my approval.  I will check on the book's level to make sure that it's the right fit!
  • April 1, I will distribute the project and the requirements to each student.
  • April 12, book projects are due.  Students should be prepared to share a brief oral summary on the book and explain why the book was chosen.
Happy reading!
