If you’re on my email update list, this information might not be new for you. If you’re not on my email update list, you need to make sure you get added to the list!

My reading log format and procedures have been changed. Here are the details:

• In an effort to encourage students to read for personal enjoyment and not for “homework”, students will now log the book title, author, and number of pages read. A parent signature is required.
• This is the new form for period one students, and this is the form for periods three, five, and six.
• Period one students must read 250 pages by November 14.
• Students from periods three, five, and six must read 150 pages by November 14.
• I will still check reading logs on Mondays, but I will not collect the final log until November 14 (end of the first trimester).
• Students can log  ANYTHING they read.
• Completed books and books and texts read in class can be added to the new reading log.
• Because we are in the middle of the trimester, the number of required pages to be read has been adjusted to make sure students have a chance to meet their reading target.
• Students will set personal reading goals for trimester two (a minimum of 500 pages for period one and a minimum of 300 pages for periods three, five, and six).
