MS Read-a-Thon


Hello Everyone,

This week we kick off our MS Read-a-Thon. Our reading month will begin with assemblies on Wednesday afternoon. After the assembly, reading packages will be placed in Advisory teacher mailboxes. Please distribute the envelops and encourage you students to read. To get your students excited about the Read-a-thon here are a couple of ideas:

1) Set a class reading goal. Reading minutes should be tracked. You can create a class chart and create a chart to track each student. An example of a Reading Thermometer has been placed in your package.

2) Check out the great resources online at www.msreadathon.com.

3) Participate in the school challenge! At the end of the reading period, the library will be asking teachers to submit their class's reading minutes. There will be a PIZZA LUNCH for the class with the most reading minutes and a prize for the top three students in the school.

Pledge envelopes will be handed into Ms. Friesen. Listen to the announcements for final dates. Happy Reading!!
