Yes- always! First, use this weekly workflow to keep track of deadlines and manage your time outside of class.

Next, thanks to independent reading, you always have reading to do. How much? Your Weekly Goal for Independent Reading (inside class and outside of class) is 40 minutes (minimum).

Lastly, most weeks we're working on vocabulary development. Use this page as a guide for your ongoing vocabulary work.
