Reading is My Super Power!
We are
so excited to introduce our 2016 Reading Incentive Program: Reading is My Super
Power!
Our
Reading Incentive Program will run from Monday, April 18, 2016 through Sunday,
May 15, 2016. Students (K-5) have the chance
to earn a small prize each week, as well as celebrate our successes in our
library classes. 6th-8th will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Powell's Gift Card.
This is how the program will work:
Ø 
Students
track their reading minutes on a weekly record.
Each week’s record is attached to this letter, but should only be
returned on its corresponding week on Monday.
Ø Students
in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade should read 20 minutes
each day, 3rd, 4th, and 5th should read 30
minutes each day, and grades 6-8 should be reading 45 minutes each day. The goal is to read daily. Extra reading time can be listed
next to the corresponding date box, so I can congratulate them on their
commitment to reading.
Ø When
all boxes have been marked (dated, “x” out, colored in, or whatever method you
decide to use) and the record is signed by a parent/caregiver, the reading
record is turned in to their classroom teacher or directly to the library. Records are due on Mondays (May 16 for 6th-8th).
Ø Awards
will be distributed to students who have completed a record for that week during
their library class.
Ø The
program will run for a total of four weeks, giving students four opportunities
to turn in reading records. (Once on May 16 for 6th-8th)
Ø The last Monday to turn in
reading records will be May 16, 2016.
As
always, reading aloud to your child counts towards their goal of reading
minutes. J If you have
any questions, please contact me at thayes@sauvieislandacademy.org or

Happy
Reading!

We celebrated Beverly Cleary's 100th birthday in our Kinder, 1st, and 2nd grade classes. In Ramona the Pest, Ramona discovers how cool her Q looks with whiskers, ears and a tail. Students used letters from their own name to create an animal. Such great imaginations! Giraffes, alligators, dinosaurs, and more!
