Starting this week we have a digital Class library. If you find yourself unable to use Raz Kids please use the library. Week you do, you will been to send me a direct message with the name of the book you read, if you want it counted.

I will be placing all of the week’s files into a folder usable like the library. There is and Education folder in it if you cannot get into Education.com you may use that.

This week’s work

I need to hear each of you Reading to me twice a week. This helps me judge your fluency practice. I ASK for the weekly story and a Raz Kids, but I will be happy with any reading.

I would like everyone to do at least 1 Quiz on Raz-Kids this week. I will count it as a Reading comprehension Quiz. (If you do more than 1 I will average the scores). If You cannot get into Raz Kids I will place 3 books and their Quizzes in the “Suggested Reading” Folder.

Today we will be working on the newest Wimpy Kids section. Please find it in the “01 Monday” Folder
