That’s right, now that the Paper Bag Book Reports are done, it’s time for our next project. Based on the Homework Survey that you filled out, parents indicated that you’d like to see 2-3 projects per quarter. One will definitely be a book report each quarter, the others will apply other Reading skills with Social Studies or Science.
