DUE FRIDAY!

1 Book Review & 1 AR Test are due Friday!

Students may take AR tests in the morning before 8:15 am, during our silent reading time or after they are packed up to go home in the afternoons.

AR Book Finder

Use this website to see if books are AR. I'm not a big AR pusher, but I do want my students to have an individualized reading assessment every week.
