On 8/14 students visited the media center to check out a book for Independent Reading. This month’s Independent Reading Project is a book jacket worth 100 points. Students were given specific instructions in written, oral and visual forms. This is a student project and students were instructed to do their own projects. It is super when parents want to work with kids on projects, but it is imperative that kids do their own reading and their own projects. It is not necessary to spend money on a project.
Our next test will be on Thursday, 8/21. Review AIO 1-12 and Grammar workbook 1-5
