This week, we will continue our Rituals Revealed project by choosing the family tradition that students will write their vignettes about. This week, we will also start using Reading Logs to keep students accountable for their weekly independent reading (2.5 hours per week). Please have a short conversation with your student about their book and sign off on their reading log. These will be due on Monday with their reading response journals.
