REQUIREMENT: 9 Genres per Trimester… Picture books and Poetry books are only allowed after completing 7 other genres with a minimum of 120 pages. Books that are made into movies are ineligible. If you find a book that contains less than 120 pages, you MUST get it pre-approved by me prior to reading it. HAPPY READING FISH! PHILOSOPHERS!
Mrs. AhHee, Can you please elaborate on how to keep track with this log?
Hi
The log is for your reference at home. (To give ohana the opportunity to see what the students are doing in class). The student have a genre log in class where they keep track of every book they complete by coloring in a block. They should color a block for each book. The visual log will reflect which genre they completed. That will therefore look for another genre if they already have a block colored. For students who have already completed all 9 genres, they can then go back and read the genres that they enjoy. The log also helps all students to become aware of how they are as readers to more accurately set goals for themselves in Trimester #2.
Basically, the log is to help ohana be more informed and encourage the students to read various genres
Hope this helps, if not, please feel free to call me. 
Together, we all can help our children strive for the 9 genres this trimester. Thanks for your comment, I’m sure it will help other ohana too! 
Mrs. Ah Hee, what if you don’t finish the 7 genres by the end of the trimester?
Hi Loke,
Are you giving up? I hope not….ho’omau! Grades could be lowered.
I am always gonna preserve and never give up.
Okay, thank you.
Hi Mrs. Ah Hee,
Just to make sure, once we finish 7 genres do we still have to do vocabulary for the next 2 books?
Daniel, it depends. (: I like to read, it is one of my hobbies that I like to do.
Hi Mrs. Ah Hee,
I’m working on my vocab (5 done so far) and was wondering if The Little Prince (the book you gave me before Christmas break) would count as a book even though it is less than 120 pgs. It has 113. I ask this because I overheard classmates saying, ” Oh, yeah it counts as one book even though it is less than 120 pgs. because Mrs. Ah Hee said so.” So just a verification so I can continue on its vocab words or stop and find another fantasy book. Thank you.
Happy New Year! Yes Daniel, the Little Prince counts! Keep doing those vocab words.
Alrighty! Finished them. Happy new year! Time sure goes by fast doesn’t it? Everyone’s commenting on how tall and big I’m getting… Santa must’ve granted that “growing” wish! >wink<
He must have! Do you think I still have time? Should have asked for that too!:)
Daniel, you have gotten taller. I’ve noticed, and so is everyone else!!! I hope that I get my growth spurt(sp?).
I read a lot of books, it just that… I NEVER DO THE VOCAB!!
I will find the time to do it at recess this week, or at home.
Hi Loke,
In order for your books to count, you must complete the vocab as well as do a class presentation on your book. Please complete and schedule a presentation. This will have a negative impact on grades if not completed on time. Do not give up! I know you can do it. You must try harder to complete.
For homework do we need to do our reading advertisement on the book we are reading or a book that we already read
You need to do the homework on the book you are reading, with the information from the book that you have so far.
My favorite genras to read are fiction. I also like books with action , fantasy fiction like
the Harry Potter books or the Percy Jackson books. I also like sports like foot ball books , fishing , and Hunting because I am a outdoors man.
hahahahahaha
Reading is hard but I know I can read 9 genres. I also know I can read 1 million words.
I am going to always read and always have a book. I believe Anyone can read a milliion words because you need to read more than you think. Chapter books are my favorite because every time I stop I want to Know what happens. Picture books are not good like that. Pictures help but not often. I know I am a good reader.
yes you are keegan and we all are keep trying and we will to
Donʻt worry Keegan just stay on top of it! As long as you donʻt give up…. Some people got close to 2,000,000 words! At first when she said 1,000,000 words everyone was like “OMG, sheʻs crazy!” But at the end I read 42 books!!! Try hard and encourage your FISH!MATES to try hard as well, Mrs.Ah Heeʻs awesome and donʻt take her for granted, have a great year and I hope you guys have as much FUN as we did and the best year like we had too! Donʻt drop the ball in anything and be a ONE TEAM!!! The year will swim right past you…
Hi Pomai,
Thanks for encouraging the newest FISH! It can be done! Need to hilina’i and ho’omau! To the newest FISH!, listen to those who have come before you…they have been there and have done it! Just like we listen to our Kupuna before us!
I’m gonna borrow your word…FISHMATES! I love it! Continue to swim strong!
The 1,000,000 words comes easy. Just read, and read and you will get there in no time. At first I didn’t like to read and now I love to read. Keep calm and swim strong! You can do it! New fishes!
