Summer Reading

Dear 5M students who faithfully participated in the reading log blog,

Thank you! This was my first time using a blog with my students and you helped make it successful. I wish I would have thought of this before you left today, but this post can be for any discussion you want to have about the reading you do over the summer, whether it be The Great Gilly Hopkins, or another book you may read. 

Enjoy your summer and keep on reading!

-Mrs. McG

Hello, Reading Log Bloggers!

This week...

Describe a character from the story that you would like to meet. (This doesn't mean you like the character, just that you find him or her interesting.) List 3 questions that you would ask that character.

If you are reading NONFICTION:
Pick a chapter from your book. Tell us the main idea of the chapter and at least three details that support the main idea. Tell us how the details help you understand the topic.
