Announcements and Reminders:                            We will begin with individual, quiet reading.  Pick up your folder and a book, and be in your seat reading by the time the bell rings.

Targets for Today: I can read for an extended time from materials  of my own choice.  I  know and can chose from strategies to make my reading more effective.
