Good readers are good thinkers and good writers.
Throughout the year, students will be expected to read a minimum of 4 choice books (one per quarter), of any genre, and complete a short book recommendation form after finishing the book.
We will visit the Media Center at least once a quarter for all students to check out a book of their choice to use for Sustained Silent Reading during our Block Days (10-15 minutes at the beginning of every Block period). Students may choose to take their books to and from class, or leave them in a secure area of the classroom, but books must be available during SSR time.
