MARCH IS READING MONTH

March is Reading Month

Every March our school celebrates reading month!  This is always a big deal with all of the students as they try to read as much as they can and get cool prizes along the way! Our theme this year is "A Reading Road Trip Through Michigan!"  Your child was send home a sheet of slips to record their reading as well as a calendar of all the fun activities for the month!  Please help your child record his/her times on the blue slips....they cross off one Michigan symbol for every 15 minutes they read.  When one whole slip is complete, please send it back with your child to school!  Your child will then be entered to win prizes!  This year, there are individual, classroom and school prizes for reading. Also, every Wednesday is "Headlight Reading" day when the students may bring in their flashlights for silent reading time...they love this!  Every Friday will be a spirit day when your child may dress up according to the theme that day!! All information came home in a packet last week.  Please let me know if you have any questions....and please encourage your child to read as much as possible this month!!!
