What do I….
All students must have a dictionary with them in class every day. Students are not allowed to use cell phones during school, so this is not an option. This is necessary for vocabulary development, as well as spelling.
Each student should also have a book of his or her choice to read when classwork and homework are completed. This must be a chapter book at an appropriate level. Graphic novels, comic books, magazines, etc. are not appropriate. Students are to be reading, not looking at pictures.
