Reading Assignments

Reading is an important aspect of what we do in English/language arts and social studies. While we spend a lot of time in class working on writing and learning through the writing process, reading requires some devotion at home as well. 

Please find descriptions of our reading projects throughout the year below.

Literature Circles:

Each class will be reading two books as a class. Students will be given weekly reading assignments to be done at home and during independent work time during the school day. Students will complete literature circle discussion sheets and will participate in small group discussions at the end of the week.

The fifth grade class is reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerers' Stone by JK Rowling.

The sixth and seventh graders are reading City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau.

The eighth grade class are finishing their reading of Elie Wiesel's memoir, Night.

Independent Book Projects:

Students will complete a variety of book projects! Students will select independent reading books to read each month. More details for each assignment will be provided as the assignments are announced in class!

The Book Trailer is due on May 28th, 2026!
