Mrs. Erno's Reading 6 Classroom
Please check the Parent Portal frequently.
One small act of kindness ripples out to connect four kids, in a stirring novel by the author of the beloved The Benefits of Being an Octopus.
Libby comes from a long line of bullies. She wants to be different, but sometimes that doesn’t work out. Now she’s suspended again.
On the opposite side of the country lives Vincent, a kid who loves the mathematician Katherine Johnson and being a non-conformist, who’s trying hard not to get stuffed into lockers at his new school. But that’s not working out too well either.
Nearby is T, who couldn’t take living at home anymore and is determined to survive on a rainy sidewalk.
And then there’s Jack, a big-hearted kid so engaged in the fight to keep his small rural school open that he’s lost focus on the ones who need him most.
Four kids. Four different lives. And then… one card with a message of hope takes flight and starts a chain reaction, helping each kid summon the thing they need, whether it’s bravery, empathy, or understanding. But best of all, it makes each one realize they matter — and that they’re not flying solo anymore.
What does Reading class look like?
Reading, writing, listening, and speaking!
By coming to class with a positive attitude, completed assignments, and necessary supplies, you will be on your way to improving your ability to be an effective communicator and critical thinker.
Every night, your HW is the same from now through June. Read for 30 minutes every day! Bring your independent reading book to class daily. I'm not sure how I'm going to get physical books in your hands from our fabulous school libraries. Until then, the public library is a great resource as is my classroom library (I have ideas for how to safely lend books). I'll hand out Scholastic book orders monthly or we'll rely on digital ordering through the Scholastic book order website.
