Reading Logs Were Due Today
Our first weekly reading log was due today.   Some students did not have 75 minutes or their reading log was not signed.  Because this was the first one and because we didn’t have school yesterday to be reminded, I am allowing them to get it signed or finish reading tonight.  I am sending home this weeks reading log as well.  In the future, unsigned or incomplete reading logs will result in a strike.    We also discussed in class how to complete the reading log, starting a new line for each reading time frame.  Students might have one book listed several times.
