The way you can help -
  We ask that you sign your child's planner in the reading block each time your child completes a 30 minute assignment.  Some parents choose to sign the reading block once a week by stating "Read 30 minutes, 3x" and then signing the block.  It's your child's responsibility to get your signature!
 
 

The way you can help -
    Check in with your child early in the month to find out what the next book project assignment is.  Help your child pick out an appropriate book if necessary.  Ask your child to verbally summarize what he or she is reading every few days.  Most book projects will require a visual element as well as a written and/or oral presentation.   Poster board is usually available in the classroom for most book projects; however, your child may wish to obtain special items.  Please allow your child to complete the visual element of the book project independently although your suggestions are helpful.  Offer to listen to your student practice an oral presentation several times before the due date.  If you see spelling or grammatical errors in your child's writing, just tell your child there are errors and encourage your child to find the errors independently.  Encourage your child to make his or her own corrections!
