Summer Reading - PADLET

HAPPY READING AND HAPPY SUMMER!

This summer I expect your kids to read Wonder, by R.J. Palacio and at least 2 other books of their choice (reference the summer reading list for ideas). I also encourage that your child leaves a book review (or a few) on our class PADLET to stay connected!

Thanks,
