Bring Books to Class on Thursday, November 12 (FYI--The purpose behind this
project is for students to select a biography book that can help them raise
their reading lexile, in addition to me helping them build the capacity for
sustain reading for the FCAT--70% of the 7th Grade Reading FCAT is Non-
Fiction; for the most part, our school library doesn't have books within
their lexile ranges but if students cannot get to the Public Library, they
can select 2 books from our school library per my approval).
