What is a documentation sheet?
A record of how often you read and when you read. Your parents sign when you start and when you end and due dates are given in advance. You must have your documentation sheet and your book with you at all times. Spot checks will occur in class and these spot checks are worth points. If a student looses their documentation sheet make a homemade one as soon as possible and let Mrs. Fader know during class.Back to Top
