6th Grade Reading Corner

 

* Many 6th graders are enjoying the opportunity to spend time before school reading a good book in the Miller library. This group of students has already recommended quite a few of their favorite books to the Miller student body. The titles and author of the books recommended by the Reading Corner are listed below.

 

Purpose of the Reading Corner Club:

-To encourage students to read books for enjoyment and create a network for students to recommend specific books or authors to the entire Miller student body.

 

Meeting dates, time and location:

•        Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, 8:00am-8:35am (Students MAY NOT arrive on campus earlier than 8:00am) in the Miller Library.

•        The Reading Corner Club will last 10 weeks (it may or may not be continued for additional 10 week time-periods thereafter)

 

Reading Corner Guidelines:

•        The Reading Corner Club is only for 6th grade students

•        No more than 30 students can join the Reading Corner.

•        At least 5 students must sign up for this club and continuously attend the meetings for it to take place.

•        Students may not arrive on campus earlier than 8:00.
