Dear Parents/Guardian(s),

         

Starting over Spring Break, students will begin an at-home Reading Quilt Project. This is will be taking the place of the quarterly Reading Logs.   Students will be asked to complete outside reading, representative of each type of book listed on their quilt square.  This will be an on-going project and should be returned on Tuesday, May 28th.

Each child will have a Quilt Square at school that will be part of a class quilt.  The attached is a sample of the one your child will have at school.  For your child to color in a patch on their school quilt square, he/she will need to turn in specific information to their teacher (book title, author, what type of book it was and a parent signature).  Once the information has been verified with your child’s teacher, they will be able to color in the particular patch related to the book they read on their portion of the classroom quilt.  We have attached a list that should be kept in their Take Home Folder for simple record keeping. 

The books can be from our school library, public libraries, book clubs, home, or virtually any other source.  At least two quilt squares have been completed during IMC this past week.  Students will need to read a total of 12 books by Friday, May 31st.  If your child completes their whole quilt square, they will get a special prize, as an added incentive. If a book is longer in length it can be recorded in 2 areas on the quilt.

 Thank you in advance for your support!

Sincerely,

Ms. Moldenhauer
