Week of April 27
Reading
All student's should independently read for at least 20 minutes a day. This can be in the form of silent reading or reading to an adult or sibling. This could also include reading on Raz Kids or Epic, as long as the read aloud option is turned off.
READING LOG: When you are done reading, record the information into your reading log. This includes the name of the book, the number of pages read, how long you read for, and a short summary of what you read. Please return a reading log with your letter to your teacher each week.
In addition to independent reading, please read the following articles. You may read these with an adult if you like. We will talk about these articles in our Zoom meetings twice a week. (These articles are printed out in your weekly packets). Be ready to share interesting facts . vocabulary and questions you have!
