We are currently reading the novel Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick. Students generally love this book. In fact, I've had many 8th graders tell me this is the first book they've ever read all the way through!
I have such a great group of 8th graders this year that I decided to check out books to each student. This meant counting on students to do some reading outside of class instead of reading it aloud, all together, in class. Well, unfortunately, I have bunches of kids who did not do their reading homework! This has created quite a disappointing mess, as I haven't been able to continue with the lessons I had planned.
Today and tomorrow, most classes will have read Chapter 20 aloud. I think we will just start from there, reading the rest of the book aloud.
Please encourage your child to read through Chapter 20!
