April Reading Goals: April Reading Goals: April Reading Goals: April Reading Goals: All April Reading Logs are due this Tuesday, May 1st. Please remind your child that they need to hand in ALL their Reading Logs for the month by Tuesday. Their grade on their Reading Logs will be negatively affected if they are missing any Reading Logs for the month. Tuesday will also be the last day to take AR quizzes or hand in completed worksheets for books that don’t have quizzes so the points count towards your child’s April Reading goal! The students will also receive their new May Reading Log on Tuesday, May 1st. May will be the final month for the students to have a Reading goal, so please encourage your child to read, read, read so they can reach their final goal of the year. Thank you!

In last week’s Thursday folder, all students received an order form for the picture. We strongly encourage every student to purchase one of the pictures.
