This year in Language Arts, we are taking the 40 Book Challenge! Each student will be expected to read 40 books from multiple genres throughout the year (10 per quarter). Students will write a letter to me once a week telling me about what they have been reading. Each week I will conference with each student to make sure they are on track to complete this challenge. Students have a Reader's Notebook to help keep track of their response letters and books they have read throughout the year. Students will self-select their books to read for this challenge. Please be aware of what your child is reading each week. E-books or library books are a great option to use during our holiday breaks. Below are the genre requirements for this challenge. Along with this challenge, students will be expected to complete 4 book reviews (one per quarter) and 4 book commercials (one per quarter) throughout the year. Rubrics for these assignments are below.
