Reading (Incoming 5th-8th) Material Fee $20

Reading 30 minutes a day is great.  Reading for longer is even greater!  This summer we'll spend the 45 minute class periods in three ways: First, everyone will have their own books to find in room 8 or bring from home.  Second, Mr. Moore will read a short story (most every day - unless it's a little longer than short!). Third, we'll journal and discuss what we've read (I'll do it too).  You'll be supplied with your own little journaling notebook too.  This may also be a great way to focus some time on your summer reading assignments! 

Teacher: Mr. Moore
