The Million Pages Project
This is the fifth year for the Million Pages Project. I challenge my students to read inside and outside the classroom. This project is broken into individual and class goals. Each student's goal is to read 7,407 pages by May 18, 2012. Students will be setting their own daily and weekly goals in order to read their share of one million pages. If students consistently meet this goal, we as a whole will reach the total goal of reading one million pages.
Million Pages Rewards
Stay tuned for information concerning reward opportunities.
Reading Logs
Every Monday, students are assigned a Reading Log. This log is due the following Monday. Attached is an additional log in the event you or your child should need a new one.
