Activity 1. Individual Reading Time and Fill in Your Reading Log
On most class days we will have some quiet individual reading time at the beginning of class. Bring a book to read or borrow something from the teacher's shelves.
Don't forget to fill out your reading log every time. It counts on your grade!
If you're absent, or don't fill out your log, pick up a pink make-up sheet and do the homework.
Today you are welcome to pick up and read Scholastic book order ads.
Leave your reading log and fluency graph in your folder.
