1. Handouts: * New Independent Reading Charts 2. Homework: * Read an AR book daily and record progress on chart * Have a SUPER week! 3. Assignments Due: None 4. A challenge: Years ago, one of my classes at SCAPA temporarily lost the opportunity for ongoing Treasure Chest drawings. It happened after the very first drawing. But fortunately, they figured out what was so offensive and took steps to correct the problem. Can you guess why they almost didn’t get any more Treasure Chest drawings?
