We're taking the next two days to clear up misconceptions about independent reading, and to actually have the time to read and to share what we're learning. We had one presentation already today (Thursday) in Block 5/6, because one student was finished with her first topic and wanted to share with us.

Thursday we'll spend time researching BOOKS and ARTICLES students can read, and sharing our ideas and topics.

Friday we'll spend quiet time in the library, actually reading, blogging, and having more one-on-one conferences.

Homework:
* Independent reading process = Read 20 min each night, and post on the blog by Friday night each week.
* BRING something to read tomorrow!
