READING

Progress Report #3 goes home Monday! It is due back no later than Wednesday.

We are almost finished with Crash! Can you believe it? It seems like we just started this novel. We are starting to see another side of Crash Coogan. We also see how hard it can be at times to NOT give in to what everyone else is doing. We have practice quite a few of our reading strategies in this novel. It's amazing to see how many young people in Rooms 71 & 73 are being turned onto novels.



We are also well into the BOOK OF THE MONTH, and are finding it quite engaging. Bobby and Joey are quite a pair.
