Sixth Grade Summer Reading 2011-2012

Book list

For Summer Reading students are to read a minimum of 3 books from the list provided.  I would love to see students read more than the required 3 books.  While reading students will keep a log of the books they read over the summer.  Parents will sign this log as verification that the student has completed each book. Students need to turn in the Reading Log by September 2nd.

If for some reason the link for the Reading Log does not work, please just write down the 3 books you read and have a parent sign the paper to acknowledge that the 3 books were read.
