Adventure/Survival Book Groups

On Tuesday the students will be divided into groups for the book groups which we are doing for the month of March.  Each child will receive a copy of their book and a calendar with the days their group will be meeting along with the chapters they should have read.  Also, they will be getting a small blue notebook to record notes and questions while they are reading to bring to group.  If your child forgets their calendar I have attached a copy of each groups below.  They will meet on the * days and they need to have the chapters listed on that day done by the time they come to school on that day.
