5th Grade Summer Reading

You will be reading "The Callender Papers" by Cynthia Voigt. I suggest reading it as soon as possible so that it is out of the way for the summer!

The assignment is as follows:

Your student will need to keep a "journal" each day as they read. Each entry should include:

Date, Pages Read, Detailed Summary of Reading, Predictions, and Questions for Author.

Each Entry should be in the same order each time. An example entry would look like this.

5/4/11
Pages: 1-20

Detailed Summary would be written here.

Any Predictions would be written here.

Questions would be written here.

I suggest a regular spiral notebook for the journal.

The journal will be due on or before July 15th. NO exceptions will be made. Students who register on or after July 5th must have their journals in on or before the first day of school.

Journals should be dropped off or mailed to the school. I will check to pick them up each week at some point. You can also mail them to 8513 Cross Creek Way Bessemer 35023 to get them to me directly.

Again, let me state that if I were being given the assignment, I would go ahead and get it out of the way so that last minute work is avoided. The journals need to be neat, quality work.

If you have any questions, please email me.

Thank you,
