Reading

Thank you for the support of the reading journals!
I do my best to read and swap out books daily 
with 4 or 5 children (18 students).
The letter seen above shared that the goal is for your child to practice for more than one day at home. An adult checks that the contents are all in the bag (paper books signed out come back too) and signs the stamped spot, that's it, no writing is necessary.  We will reuse the Zip-Loc until it needs to be replaced.  Please remind your child that this blue journal is meant to keep track of the materials borrowed from school and if they wish to draw and write they should find some other paper to do so, thanks! 
We will use the journal all year for adults to keep track of the contents.
