Monthly Reading Log

Posted on August 29, 2018 by nicki.young

Hello! I sent home our monthly reading log today. It took me longer than I thought to get it out to everyone, so don’t worry about recording for the last few days in August. Here is a sample filled out for August. Our goal is to have student’s read 20 minutes per night.

Here is how September’s log will look. Please don’t forget to fill out each night. They will be turned in the last week of the month.

It was a ton of info, but we will be working on mastering them together! We also had a class scavenger hunt and some fun reflecting activities. This year is gonna be great!!
