Students/Parents: Note About Biographies

Students:

     Please begin reading a biography or autobiography of 100 pages or more for the Trimester 2 Book Project (to be assigned January 22nd).  Your novel should be finished at that time.

Parents:

   In most libraries there is the possibility that some books may contain mature content that is not appropriate for a 6th grade reader.  Please discuss your child's selection with him or her in order to ensure that it does not contain any material that you do not find suitable.  We have visited our school library to allow students to select a novel to read; however, biographies may be attained from any library or store.  Thank you so much for the kind support.
