Book Reviews on Publisher ~ 5th/6th Grade

The Fifth and Sixth Graders created book reviews for their favorite books that they read over the summer.  They used the "program" templates.  On the front cover they included a picture of the book cover, the author, the title, the series name (where applicable), the genre and the book level (according to Accelerated Reader).  On the inside of the document, the students included three adjectives to describe the book, a short synopsis of the plot and a few sentences that explain why you should read the book.  They also rated their book with 1-5 stars.

Paws for Reading ~ 3rd/4th Grade

The Third and Fourth Graders will participate in Scholastic.com's "Paws for Reading" program.  The program is described as: "Now through December 14, kids everywhere are siding with the Cats or the Dogs in a pledge to read every day and help make their team reading champs—while also helping to donate 500,000 books to kids in need. Reading at home for 20 minutes each day is all it takes to get in on the fun!"
