Summer Reading
Don't let your students forget about their summer reading work. The Caudil book lists are included in the virtual backpack. Please check that out with your student so they have it on their radar.
Please note that one book listed for 7th and 8th graders is a Sci-Fi book that contains some "chilling concepts about life and death". Common Sense Media suggests that it is appropriate for 12 years old and up.
