3rd to 8th Grade Summer Reading

At Oasis Academy we have a mandatory summer reading program.  Participation counts toward 10% of the students first quarter grade.  If your child chooses not to participate, they will be ineligible to play football in the fall until such time that enough other grades have been added to bring the grade up.

The reading blogs will be available on June 9th and must be compete by August 1st. If you go to the website now, they will not be there.

How to Access the reading blog:

1. Go to www.oasisacademyfallon.us  

2. On the big picture of the books it will say "Summer Reading Blogs"  Click that picture. It is the largest most prominent picture on the website.

3.  Click the grade that your child will be going into next year.  This will take you to the correct blog

4.  The rubric for getting credit is on each blog. There are different expectations for each grade level.

5. Read the questions on the blog.  Click "Comment"  under the post to answer the questions.  Be sure and start your answer with your first name last initial (i.e. Melissa M  I think the main character is upset about moving because . . . . .).  If you don't put your name we have no way to give you credit for the work.  

6. Answer the question according to the rubric.  If it says 4 complete sentences, credit will not be given for less, etc.

7.  If you see anything "weird" in the comments please contact mmackedon@oasisacademyfallon.us
