This week in Literacy:
This month’s reading incentive is almost over!
Reading passport- Students have until March 30th to “Read Across America”. Each 20 minutes of reading equals a new state stamped by me in class on their passport. If they reach the goal of 1000 minutes by the deadline, they will be invited to an afterschool Luau to celebrate their reading stamina! All YOU have to do parents is acknowledge the reading titles and minutes each night at the bottom of agendas. Students are of course encouraged to read over weekends too:) This is meant to be fun; please be sure your child isn’t stressing and staying up until midnight reading. Thank you for supporting your child as we push them to be voracious readers with improved reading stamina!
