Summer Reading Project

The students of Wildcat were the rulers of the second floor today since the 7th and 8th graders were off to Point Reyes for a week. While they won't get a chance to actually see their school mates from the upper grades, on Thursday the 6th graders will be heading out to Point Reyes for a day trip of their own.


During English today the students worked in groups of threes on a project with one of the books they read over the summer. The three most popular books were The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Stargirl, and Tangerine. The groups discussed characters, setting, conflict and plot, and they started creating book covers based on their discussions.


Homework: 30 minutes reading of any book of your choice. Please remember to record your reading in your reading log.
