What's Going on in 2nd Grade?
Book Mountain Jr.
What is it? Book Mountain is an optional extension activity open to all students in our second grade. Students who choose to participate will select and read books at their independent reading level from a variety of genres. After reading a book, students will select an activity, or activities, from a range of task cards. Students earn points for completing cards successfully. With each point, students take one step closer to the top of “Book Mountain.”
