For Ground Zero, you have options. Choose any one task from the choice board provided, follow all of the directions carefully, and bring it to school with you the first week of Sixth Grade this September. I tried to include ideas that would appeal to a wide variety or interests (writing, art, music, acting). Please make sure you read through and follow all directions for your choice with careful consideration. Do not rush it-I will be able to tell.
For your personal choice book from the list, complete a book review. I think I forgot to attach it to the packet in the folder. You will find it on the main SJR website, however, or you can email me. Don’t forget to rate your book!!! How many stars would you give it? Who do you think would like to read it?
Be honest. : )
Remember–Two books read. Two assignments. Only one review, and only one task.
Pace yourself with this work, please do NOT leave it to the last minute. I know from personal experience this never goes well. LOTS of tears from both my kids and me. 😭
Try to get one book done by July 4th and the other by the Assumption, August 15th. Bring your book to the pool or the beach or the mountains, wherever you are, and enjoy some quiet time lost in a great story!!
Have a great summer! Stay safe, have fun, relax, and recharge!
Can’t wait to see you again in September! :) Continue to READ!
Book Assignments will be due on Thursday, September 3, 2026.
Please bring your copy of Ground Zero with you to school (with your name on/in it).
