READING LEXILE:
Parents, thank you for your patience while the Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) was being prepared for the year. The students took the test last week and will bring home a report on Monday which shows their reading lexile. The goal is to have your child read in the 700-1,000 target range by the end of the school year.
OCTOBER READING:
Students will independently read a book from a different genre each month. Class time will be given every day for silent reading and students are expected to read a minimum of 10 pages a day. If they are unable to complete this in class, then reading becomes homework.
The genre for the month of October is science fiction. Students should show their selected science fiction book to me for approval. As a response to this literature, students will make a shoebox diorama, with a description of the scene and the page number from the book glued or taped on one side of the box, and the title, author and summary of the book glued or taped on the other side of the box. The students have been given the grading rubric. Check out the following websites for ideas on making a shoebox diorama.
