=6th Grade Reading: =

Each semester, it is a city-wide requirement that each middle schooler reads a minimum of 500 pages cumulative. That averages to be 3-5 books per semester. After each book is completed, the students in my class are required to complete a mini book report. For each student that completes these requirements successfully, there will be an end of semester reading reward!
