Important reminder September 24th

Just a reminder to all Language Arts students of our school wide reading initiative. Every student will commit to 2 hours of reading each week outside of school.  Students have the freedom of choosing the genre and when they will fit in their 2 hours. 
With 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week or 168 hours in a week...2 seems very fair. Plus based on the latest research, this time is needed to truly build stamina. 
This habit will serve all students and teachers well. Yes...teachers have to read too! :) Our reading goals are posted in class. 
Thank you and happy reading!
