2017 Reading Challenge
The Best of the Best!
Reading Challenge
The books listed below are some of the best books of 2016. We have read some of these titles already, and will read some in the coming months. My challenge to you is this:
Read all 24 books by June 1st. Document each title in a Reading Challenge Google Doc with a 3-5 sentence review of each book and the date that you finished the book. If you read all 24 books and submit your Google Doc to me by June 1st, you will be invited to a pizza/ice cream treat party in our room during lunch the last week of school. Happy Reading!
Example:
Ms. Bixby's Last Day-11/30/16-In this book, three boys go on an adventure to show their dying teacher just how much she means to them. They get in a lot of trouble along the way, but they end up seeing Ms. Bixby before she leaves for another hospital. This book was a tear-jerker and one that I could read again and again.
