March Reading Month
Monday 3/5/18 - Friday 3/30/18
Objective: To keep the pirates from stealing our most valued treasure...our love of reading. We need to read, read, read to reach the treasure on Treasure Island
Top Readers
- Every week we will be calculating the top three readers from each grade level.
- For K-2, we would like you to have students turn in their reading logs every Friday, and a volunteer will come around and figure out who your top reader is from your class.
- For 3-5, Mrs. Braley will be using the Scholastic site to look up the points of the tops readers in the class for the week. She will calculate points after 2:00 on Fridays. Any tests taken after 2:00 will be counted for the following week.
- The Top readers, most points-upper el, most books/chapters read-lower el, for each week will be announced on the news on Monday. The top reader in the grade level will be featured on the news on Monday.
