Reading Log:  The reading log will be due Monday November 2. (This is different then normal)  The students are to read 180-200 minutes over this short week and the break. Many of them will be bringing home book group books to finish or sequels.  This should give them plenty to read over the break.  Ask your child which book they have been reading in class.  The students could also read any of the books on the list below over break.  They are all great books!

The four book groups were:

1. City of Ember

2. Holes

3. The Shakespeare Stealer

4. The White Giraffe

Each book has several sequels except Holes which had one “sequel” Small Steps. I provided the students with quite a few sequel copies but did not have enough for each student to bring one home over the break.  Most of the sequels are available in the library, a local bookstore or The Bookies bookstore on Colorado. The Bookies has a great selection of kids and teen books. A few of the sequels are newer and are only available in hardback. Two are movies but are somewhat different then the books.

Happy Reading,

Ms. Jackson
