Students should be reading 30 minutes every day.  Each day they should also be keeping track off what they read with a personal reading log. They may type their responses if they want. An example of how the reading log is formatted can be seen below.

This will come to schoool every day in their homework folder and will be checked daily and turned in on Fridays.

Big Nate: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?  by Lincoln Pierce Pg 1-15

” ‘ Thank you for the leftover necco wafers, Nate.’ ‘They’re banana. I don’t really like the banana ones.’ ” (pg 12).

I chose this quote because I thought it was funny that Nate gave leftover candy to his teacher instead of giving her a thank you card.  I can relate to Nate because I don’t like banana flavored candy either.
