  • Novels - My Antonia, by Willa Cather, Hoot, by Carl Hiaasen, Sword of the Rightful King, by Jane Yolen, and The Witch of Blackbird Pond, by Elizabeth George Speare. Most of the reading takes place in the classroom. If you are absent, you will need to make up any reading you missed. You can come to F2 before or after school to read or go to the LMS library and request the novel to read. These novels can count toward your AR point goal for each trimester.
  • Accelerated Reader (AR): I recommend you read one half hour every day from your AR book. This is an extra credit assignment due at the end of each trimester. You need to earn 15 AR Points by the end of the trimester to receive the extra credit in the gradebook. Our library day is every other Monday, so please bring your AR book with you to read, take quizzes, and exchange for new books on that day.
