OUTSIDE READING - OPTIONAL for BOTH Semesters

Outside Reading will be an OPTIONAL Activity for Semester 1 and Semester 2. Students need to get their book approved by me. Parents need to email me their consent. Once they complete their book, they will see me for an assignment, due TWO weeks after I give it to them. The LAST DAY to ASK for an assignment for Semester 1 is the week of Thanksgiving. The last day to ask for an assignment in Semester 2 is MAY 2, 2016.
