Reading Logs
We are working hard to get a free book from our book vending machine at the end of the 9 weeks. Each week, your child will bring several books home for you to read together. Please read the books with your child, write the books on the reading log and return the books inside the bag by Friday. When each page of the reading log is completed, your child will go to the treat box!! Our goal is 36 books!
