Drop Everything and ReadFor the first 15 minutes of Period B each day, everyone in the school will read. So bring along the book you happen to be reading and enjoy! Looking for a book? .. then start your day with an early visit (7:45 to 8:25) to the library to sign out a book or pick up an extra newspaper or magazine there. If you forget to bring reading material, your period B teacher will probably have a textbook you can read. That should serve as a reminder the rest of the week.
