Reading- Time for Kids will go home on Tuesday of this week with a worksheet to complete. The students are to read their magazine each night throughout the week. Since they are current even articles, they make for great discussions in the car, at the dinner table or whenever there is a free moment. This will help them understand the ideas and vocabulary in the passages. The worksheet will be due on Friday of the week, and there will be a quiz on Friday as well. During the quiz, they may use their magazine to go back to find the answers. It is very important for them to return their magazine to their binders each evening.
