Your child has been assigned a book project entitled "Book Buffet." This project will be on a fiction book that your child chose from a list of books in class. This is the project for the second trimester. Almost all the students in the classroom have had their books approved and I have tried to obtain most of the books. Students should read some of their books every night. Reading the book buffet book can count towards the nightly reading homework. The goal is to read the entire book by January 23rd, so the students can start on the book report and have that part of the project completed by February 15th.
The packet that was sent home has a lot of detailed information. I have also attached the "Teacher Edition" of the packet here in case your child forgot to bring their packet home. Students will be completing a written project that is hidden inside a model of food. Student can choose any food they wish as long as it has not been chosen by someone else in the class already. I will be getting this information from students next week. Each part of the project must be included in its own section. The sections can be either written or typed. Students should take notes for each section as they read the book to make the process easier. To see examples of past projects go to the mrsnunez.weebly.com/reading.html
