Dear Parents,
The assigned summer reading book for July for students entering third grade in September 2016 is Loyola Kids Book of Saints by Amy Welborn. The questions are divided per chapter as directed by Mr. Woods. The questions should be answered on looseleaf beginning with a full heading and neatly written. Each answer should be numbered correctly, written in complete sentences, and based on TEXT EVIDENCE. I suggest that students pace themselves reading ONE chapter and responding to each set of questions PER DAY or every other day so reading is consistent and enjoyable, not overwhelming. One or two sentence responses are fine.
Chapter 1 is based on saints who love children.
