Reading Assignment

All students should be reading a book from the media center and completing their extra credit sheet.  The book must be completed by January 29.  On January 30, we will start our percussive writing unit which will be linked directly to the book they are currently reading. 

The third quarter usually proves to be a difficult quarter for some students and the extra credit, which goes with the reading assignment, is a good way for students to make sure they end up with a good Language Arts grade on their next report card.  All extra credit sheets are due on January 30.
