Books Team Everest Recommends
Looking for a new book to read? Please check out this list of Books Team Everest Recommends. Last month, students had a chance to contribute titles of their favorite books and we compiled them into an alphabetized list- there are dozens from which to choose! All come highly recommended from a member of Team Everest. Eighth graders Colby, Mariam, and Sami added descriptions for all the books and also created a delightful wall display for the Language Arts classroom.

Reading Expectations
Hello Team Everest Families!
We hope you and your students have had a good start to the school year.
We sent students home with some Reading Expectations. Please read through these expectations, sign them, and send them back to school with your student if you have not done so already. Our expectation is that students read 30 minutes every night. It is so important to read regularly in order to build reading fluency, strengthen vocabulary, and become a better writer. We also think that reading can be an extremely enjoyable activity that can expand our knowledge of ourselves, others, and the world around us.
Our first Reading Log is due on Friday, September 16th.
If you are looking for good books to read, we will be posting a "Books Team Everest Recommends" list soon! Happy reading.
