There is no school on Monday, March 7, and Ms. Dorsey will have a sub on March 10, 11. You may still hand in work on those days, but I will not be here for Cavetime or after school.

Targets for Today: I read for enjoyment, and add to a record of my reading. I can read aloud fluently. I will understand better how to find useful, reliable information on the Internet.

Today’s  Agenda: 1. Get Set: Pick up your folder. Make sure you have a book or something else to read.  You may read on your phone or iPad, but you must be reading, not doing other things.  2. Go: Individual Reading and Filling Out Your Reading Log     All are quietly reading.   Filling out your reading log: Examples  -- The Reading Log is required. # Date B M N O Title -- Use ditto marks (“)  when continuing the same material.  Material read/Explanation/Read from page__ to page __ Minutes Read Total Hours Read EX 1/13/16 X Scholastic Scope, Sept. 2013 pages 4-9  “Malala the  Powerful” 20 1/15/16 x The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles to pg. 43 20  2/3 3.
