·       This week grade 6s read a book of your choice.

·       **Attention Students in 6 Yake. If you have your biography book home, you can continue to collect notes about your biography, but if you don’t that is ok, you don’t have to. There is a PDF document under Mr. Bosma’s documents on this page to remind what to write down if you have your biography.

·       Record notes on interesting, exciting, and what you feel are important parts of your book- Record in either a binder, duotang, on a Notes App on your  cell phone, an ipad/tablet, lap top, or what ever works best for you.

·       Just like your reading responses this year you can write down:

I wonder….. If I were that character…. I can see a clear picture of….I feel sorry for…..Wow that was amazing because….I think or predict that……
