ELA - Students are being given a gift this week.  I have heard many complaints and seen many wide eyes when I told them that they should be reading each night and should be almost done 2 books.  We will be starting our Science Fiction Unit next week so I would like all students to be done at least two books by the end of this week.  We will be reading and taking AR quizzes all week. Homework: READ!
