6th and 7th grade Independent Reading Book Project

The following text is taken from the parent letter we sent home (and had your child sign) regarding your student's book project. The full document can be found by logging into Jupiter grades. Then, find the assignment labeled Book Project Assignment. The document is attached there.

"In order to ensure that your child meets the independent reading requirements set by the city and state we are requiring monthly book projects.  Independent reading typically occurs twice a week in class.  However, this will not be enough time to read a complete book.  Thus, reading at home is fundamental for your child’s success this year.  Since ELOs are due until the end of the month, book projects will be due the second Monday of every month.
