Zinc Articles/ Monthly Reading Logs
The Monthly Reading Log will be replaced by assigned articles off of the SpringBoard Zinc platform. A article will be assigned weekly.
Though the technology is not perfect, I do expect students to report any technical issues prior to Friday of every week to provide the time needed to perhaps troubleshoot the issue.
Please be advised that the SpringBoard platform works best using the Google Chrome browser and many technical issues may be resolved by using this particular browser.
The Monthly Reading Log will return in February. The following table previews the genres that will be required for each month.
| Month | Genre |
| February | Science-Fiction/Fantasy |
| March | Autobiography |
| April | Informational |
| May | Free Choice |
The Book Fair will start next week in the library at PVIS, if students would like to purchase books.
