Week 1 Results are In!

Week 1 Results are In!

What a fantastic first "week” (March 1-4) of reading! Students, teachers, and staff already read 19,135 minutes! It was very exciting to see the reading logs come in and all the wonderful minutes read by the students. A special thanks to Betsy Brown and Helen Norris for helping with the tallying. A reminder that if your student forgot their log on Monday, if they bring it in this coming Monday, March 12^th, their minutes from Week 1 still count! We will back log their minutes. Also, if students have misplaced their reading logs, there are extra copies in the main office or can be downloaded from this blog under the "Forms" tab.

Also, the first time students bring in their reading log, they will receive a coupon for a free cone at Ben & Jerry's. Each student will get only one coupon on their first time turning in the log, whether their first time was this past week or if their "first time" is in a week ahead. We are grateful to Ben & Jerry's for donating these passes to Monkton Central students!

COMING UP THIS WEEK – we will be having “Who’s Your Hero?” day on Wednesday, March 14^th where students are encouraged to come to school dressed up as a hero - this could be a hero from their favorite book or other any other type of hero their choose such as a parent, sibling, teacher, coach, professional role, musician, artist, athlete, etc.

LOOKING FOR HELP – we are looking for parent volunteers who might be willing to help us hang fabric capes in the hallway that students will be creating in Art Class depicting their favorite book hero.  We will be hanging the capes on Thursday, March 15^th beginning at 7pm…any help is appreciated!  Also, we always welcome anyone who might have time on Monday mornings from 8-9am, or whatever amount of time you are able to give, to tally reading logs.

Our graph outside the library of percent participation for classrooms for Week 1.  Watch as each class's superhero cape shoots upwards as the classroom participation goes up each week!  Each class choose a trait that is their "superpower" that describes them on the cape.

Here are some books that students are excited to read during the Read-a-thon.
