Homework

Children should read 10-15 minutes each night. Students are encouraged to complete at least 6 of the challenges.  These challenges encourage children to read in a fun, engaging way.  Once 6 challenges are completed, please send in the reflection page.  Each child who completes the monthly challenge will receive a prize. I will start awarding prizes the week of November 18.
