Yes, we are ready for the challenge of "Traveling Into a Good Book" after the great kick-off assembly today given by Mrs. Gaskill & Mrs. Anderson!!! Your child brought home an envelope today to keep track of the minutes they read each night as well as the book they are reading. You are to initial their minutes each night and they need to be returned to school EVERY day with your child in order for us to get credit for our class minutes and for them to get their individual coupons for minutes achieved.
I am PREDICTING or I should say EXPECTING Team Hankins to get the most class minutes in our grade level category!!!! WE CAN DO IT!!! Class winners in each category receive a Subway Party. Yummmm!! I know my Lead 21 kids have monthly reading calendars already so we are used to nightly reading. The minutes for Read-A-Thon count for the monthly as well.
Also, as we achieve class minutes we will get a coupon to travel & find good books in the library. How fun & I can't wait for the adventure of finding these GREAT books. So hop aboard the reading adventure and READ-READ-READ!!! We each set individual reading goals for the 10 days. Example: 60 min./day = 1200 total minutes. We added up all our totals and got a CLASS GOAL of 39,450 min. WOWZERS!!! Students will be charged fake money each day their reading envelopes are not returned.
Also on the back side of the envelope is the Donations collected section. Students can collect pledges for minutes read or just a "flat" $ amount donation. No door to door, just from friends & family members.
Have fun and I look forward to all the minutes we accumulate.
Remember PE shoes tomorrow.
Have a great night.
