Our theme is Reading is SNOW Much
Fun! With chilly temps and fewer hours of daylight, February
is a perfect time to curl up with a good book and Read! Read! Read!
Our Read-A-Thon will run from Friday, February 23rd, to
Thursday, March 1st.
There will be lots of exciting events going
on during the Read-a-Thon including Mrs. Bruenger’s, Library Media
Specialist, Book Reviews. Students that participate in
the book reviews are eligible to receive one of the free books raffled off each
day for a student in k-2 and 3-5. Also on tap is a special visit for
each grade by Karlyn Coleman, author of Where Are All the Minnesotans?, and numerous guest
storytellers.
How does the Read-a-Thon Work?
- The
students obtain pledges (either per minute of reading or a flat
amount). All proceeds from the Read-a-Thon go to support our
teachers and school. Cash, check, and on-line are accepted. On-line
payments are a great option for those who don't live locally, but want to
support your students’ school.
- Read,
Read, Read! Any time spent reading outside the classroom
counts. Students record the minutes they read each
day. Logs will be tallied daily in each classroom. Please make sure your child brings the reading log to school
each day. We will add up all reading that
occurs outside of school from Friday, February 23rd,
through to Thursday, March 1st (7 reading days!).
On Friday, we’ll do our final tallies in anticipation of celebrating our
Read-a-Thon success.
- The classroom in each grade that logs the most reading minutes will receive a special “Reading Champion” recognition on their classroom door.
