Dear families,

Just a quick update about our TAG 5 Reading class:

• we are studying the elements of historical fiction right now. Your child is either reading Out of the Dust or Esperanza Rising.
• Students have had 3 reading deadlines for the books and their final deadline, the end of the book, is Wednesday, January 20. They will have their final book club meeting for that book on Wednesday morning in class.
• In order to prepare for the book club meetings, students are required to answer a set of questions on a Google Doc that they have been working on.
• When we finish these books on Wednesday, students will start reading and learning about fantasy, and they will have book club meetings about those books as well. Their reading page deadlines will be given to them on bookmarks that I would like for them to keep in their books as constant reminders.

Hope you all have a great weekend, and as always please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns!
