HOMEWORK THIS WEEK – read from a book(s) of your choice for at least 80 minutes!!!

This week we will begin weekly word works. Each week we will focus on different words to help improve our knowledge of vocabulary. I will give a complied daily grade based on completion for all the weekly word works for the entire marking period. Students will get the first part of the reading class period to work each day. If, at the end of the week, they have not finished or have been absent, they should complete it as homework over the weekend to ensure it is finished and turned in by the following Monday.
