November Newsletter
Read the Sequoyahs!
To be able to vote, a student needs to read--or have read to him/her--at least three of these books. That includes audiobooks and/or ebooks.
I have made another offer to the students. If they read the entire list and fill out the Sequoyah reading form for each title, these prizes will be awarded:
- An author-graphed new book
- Pizza lunch in the library
Students have until the end of April to finish the entire list and our lunch will be scheduled for a day in May. The Sequoyah reading form is posted in their Google Classroom.
Google Classroom, by the way, is accessible from any device with a wifi connection and the student's Google log-in.
Our library has all titles on the master list, and they are also accessible from the public library.
Second Grade Reads Redbuds!
Our next title is The Very Impatient Caterpillar who really has to learn how to be patient. This can be pretty tough but do-able.
We will focus on one or two titles a week, reading and discussing, followed by an activity from the story.
Our votes for our group favorite will be submitted in the spring right after Spring Break.
