Every night, Monday through Thursday, the students are required to read for at least 30 minutes in 5th grade and at least 20 if in 4th grade. Times will increase through the year. We will read in school, but the students need to still read at night.
The 5th graders were timed 1 minute today while silent reading. They took the length of what they read and figured out how many pages they should read in 30 minutes. Then they figured out how long it should take them to read the book. I will begin taking Status of the Class to record their books and the page they are on. When they choose a book they will figure out how long it should take them to read.
If you have not checked out John Halligan's website, please do. He visits our school tomorrow and will be at SATEC tomorrow night for a parent presentation.

A permission slip was sent home today with 5th grade to visit Northwest Solid Waste District on October 4th.
