I would like this reading log to be filled in every day. Again, you only have to read for 15 mins a day, but feel free to read more! Students can read any book for the reading log. If you happen to listen to a read aloud on youtube, then you may log that! Please do NOT read the upcoming stories in the Journeys textbook.

Sometimes important people come to our town or school. We go out and greet them. We cheer and rejoice!
Once Jesus came to the city of Jerusalem. He loved the people there. He wanted to gather them as a mother hen gathers her chicks.
When Jesus came to the city, the people cheered. They waved branches from palm trees. They also spread their cloaks on the road to honor Jesus.
We remember this day at the beginning of Holy Week on Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord. On this day, we carry palm branches and honor Jesus too.
