Most frequently asked 6th grade question: Will we do AR tests or book reports?
Answer: Yes – I ask students to read two page on-level books each marking period Types of book reports can be found on my teacher’s page under Independent Reading. AR tests are included on the list of book report options. Book report #1 will be due Friday, September 29. One book this marking period should be historical or cultural fiction.
Please keep in mind that the dates for each lesson are highly subject to change based on class time interruptions, student needs, strange weather patterns…
