 Please keep track of your nightly minutes in your assignment pad and have a parent or guardian initial in there.  You then just have to tally at the end of each week, and we save lots of paper! If you want to use the old chart, I have attached it in the file section of the website.  Remember try to read AT LEAST 30 minutes each night!
