Book Club Unit - Homework Update

Good afternoon families! 
 
I am excited to announce the start of our Book Club Unit! Each student has been assigned to a book club based on a title they selected and believed they would enjoy reading. Over the next few weeks, instead of weekly homework packets, students will be assigned specific chapters to read and complete by the end of each week.
Please remind your student not to read ahead, as it’s important that we progress through the books together to avoid any spoilers during our discussions and activities.
I encourage you to engage with your student about their reading and have conversations about the themes, characters, and progress they are making in their book clubs.
Additionally, I will be accepting any missing homework that students have not yet submitted. Please check Infinite Campus (IC) to review your student's current homework status, and remember that all assignments are also posted online in Microsoft Teams.
Thank you for your support, and I look forward to an engaging and enriching experience for all students in this unit!
