Another Snow Day!

I hope everyone is safe and warm today!

For those of you in need of reading material, here are some practice readings and questions that I am planning to do in class this week. Check out the first selection, "Song." Does anybody else feel a strong connection to the second stanza?

Update for students who have to make up their missed reading logs 
Those of you who owe me reading time during study hall can make up some of that time by reading today. Here's how:

1) Read your independent reading book (or read the sample selections posted above) for up to 40 minutes today.
2) Do two reading responses on your Make-Up reading log.
3) Show me your reading log tomorrow in class.
4) Email me if you have questions.
