Your Daly Dose
1. Don’t forget your Reading Logs!!!!! Each student has a Reading Log in the yellow Homework Folder. As students
finish reading different kinds of books, please make sure they fill it out. It should stay in the yellow folder. Books
read at home AND at school can be recorded on the logs. Students have until the end of October to read the ten
highlighted types of books on the Log. Remember to set aside some time for reading on the weekends, too.
Keep Reading on the Next Page!!!!!!
