DISCOVERING NEW ADVENTURES THROUGH
Good morning,
Today you need to turn in your reading log that shows you have been reading for 20 minutes every day. There are several ways you can turn this in: turn into front office, take a picture and send it to me via text or email. If you have trouble with this, please email me. Because I have been getting many emails about how people are lacking materials to read, I have decided to include resources that you may use to find reading material in this post. There are little free libraries around town, in the front office and outside the front of HBMS on a book cart during lunch pickup where you can pick up a free book to read that does not have a return date. At these places, you can donate books you have read and pick up new ones at any time. The Alachua County Mobile Library has several options for downloading reading material and even has options for you to listen to books online. You may also place a hold and use curbside pickup to check out the book from the library as of last Wednesday. It is important to note that HBMS will abide by the Alachua County Library District's Summer Reading Program. You may get more information here. Sign up for this program starts June 4. Our school district also has a wealth of resources online. If you log into myPortal, you can access resources like Teen Book Cloud, Destiny Library Automation (search engine for ACLD), The Gainesville Sun, and TumbleBooks. For my class, I am not particular about what you read, especially during this time, but that you are reading consistently. Reading is a way to develop vocabulary, background knowledge, and stamina for reading to understand new concepts. Once again, please contact me if you are having trouble with this or anything else that I am able to help with. Happy reading, Mrs. McCartney
