Join me as I challenge myself to read 15 books in 15 weeks.  We can do it!  Beginning February 1st, we'll try to read a book a week for 15 weeks (ending on May 17th).  Books over 350 pages count as two books!  Reading a book for class?  That counts!  You can also read up to three graphic novels and one children's book.  It's sounding manageable, isn't it?  Students who complete this rockin' challenge will be celebrated in June.  Let's do this!  Join the Robertson's Rockin' Readers Google Classroom with code j23pgpy.  Keep track on the Google Sheet provided in classwork.
