Each student will present a favorite book they have read. If they are not yet reading fluently, they may choose a book someone has read to them. They will need to tell about the main characters, a brief summary of the book, and share why they liked it. They will need a visual aid to accompany their report. Visual aids can be in the form of a newspaper article, diorama, kite book report, board game with questions, etc. There are endless possibilities beyond a tri-fold! If possible, I would like each student to bring the book as well. Home projects will be due May 7th, 2018.

A note from Ms. René:
I realize that spending time on the computer working on standardized
assessments is not the way any child would prefer to spend their time in
school; AND, I am asking you all to do your best during this time. We
know that these assessments are but one measure of a child¹s educational
progress. These assessments provide a useful data point for teachers and
myself to assess student progress and be able to plan for future
instruction and programming.Please set your child up for success by getting to bed early, eating a
good breakfast, and encouraging your child to do their best. If you would
like more information about SAGE testing, visit:
https://sageportal.org/resources/sage-general-information-fa/. If you
have questions or concerns, contact your child¹s teacher or myself
directly at 801-827-0150 or rbaker@mariamontessoriacademy.org.

They will need to tell about the main characters, a brief summary of the book, and share why they liked it. They will need a visual aid to accompany their report. Visual aids can be in the form of a newspaper article, diorama, kite book report, board game with questions, etc. There are endless possibilities beyond a tri-fold!
