Holiday Reading

Just before the winter break, Mrs. Alaniz and her students set reading goals for themselves.  We discussed the number of books we would read over the long winter break, as well as which books we would read.  Everyone made sure to get the books they needed from the library or each other!  It was nice to see everyone sharing books.
It is important to set goals when it comes to reading.  If you set a goal, you are more likely to reach it! 
Mrs. Alaniz has read several books so far, including the following three titles:

School of Fear by Gitty Daneshvari




School of Fear reminded Mrs. Alaniz of the Lemony Snicket series.  There is also a second book in this series called School of Fear 2: Class Is Not Dismissed. 

Everything for A Dog by Ann M. Martin



We read A Dog's Life (also by Ann M. Martin) in class. Everything for A Dog is several stories tied into one, and Bone is a character in this book. 

NERDS: National Espionage, Rescue and Defense Society by Michael Buckley

The NERDS sequel is also on Mrs. Alaniz's reading list.  She has a stack of books to get through this winter break. 

The holidays are a great time to read! You can read on the plane, in the backseat of your car as your family rides to Grandma's, or during the day in between holiday activities. 

Have you set reading goals for yourself this winter break?
