Weekly Reading Emails
Beginning this week, students will be required to
email me a letter/memo about what they have read
during the week. Their emails are due by the end of
the school day on Friday. There are guidelines for
their emails on our class website. They will not be
required to have a reading signature each day any
longer, but they will be required to fill in their
reading time on their monthly contest sheet.
