I hope you are all enjoying your break!  Here is your fist extra credit opportunity! Check back on Friday for more extra credit opportunities!

Students can complete up to 5 Reading Logs over break

worth 2 points each for a maximum of 10 extra credit points.

Extra Credit Reading Logs are similar to regular reading logs. The main difference is your explanation has to be a full paragraph instead of 2-3 sentences. Make sure you are writing a 6^th grade level paragraph. You will NOT receive full credit unless you use the correct format. You can type your reading log if you would like and you can use the same book you are reading for your book report! Please turn in your extra credit on Wednesday,  January 8, 2014.

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.  Nate also reminds me of my best friend Joe.  Nate and Joe are both kind, funny, and hate bananas.
