As a back to school activity, we created a New Years mobile that reflected on the fun we had in 2015 and new personal and academic goals for the 2016 year!
Congratulations to our December Home Readers!
Starting in February, we are going to try a new way of going about our reading parties that will hopefully encourage more students to hop on board! As a class we decided to hand in our reading sheets 2 times per month - once during the middle of the month and once again at the very end of the month. Allowing these check-ins will hopefully increase the percentage of students participating at home because it is a shorter time frame and an achievable goal. Each time a student brings their reading log at the check dates, the class will earn a certain amount of buttons that will be added to a class jar (numbers of buttons/days read are yet to be determined!). When the buttons reach the top of the jar, our entire class will celebrate together. We hope this change in the home reading program will encourage some new students to work towards this class reward by reading more at home. Remember - the best way to become a better reader is to READ READ READ! :)
