Students will receive a letter directing them to select a book for independent reading for the month of November. The November Book Project is due on Tuesday, December 4th. Reading independently helps students in all aspects of their academics, so please encourage them to do so. I have many books for them to read in my classroom if you cannot get to a library. I also have a Scholastic account on line if you wish to purchase a book. Thank you for your support.
