AR Class Goal and Rewards

Our class is so excited about our class library renovation. I want to give a big thank you to Paula Lyddane and Valerie Sewell for making our library more AR accessible. :) The kids are really excited about AR and have been much more motivated to read. Our class has been faced with the challenge of reaching a class goal of 50 points this 9 weeks! If we reach our goal the reward will be a movie and popcorn party. (The movie will be Because of Winn Dixie, which is a book we read together in class.) Mrs. Lyddane then challenged students further. If we reach 75 points we will also earn pizza, and if the students reach 100 points...ice cream! Talk about excited! The kids are reading like never before. lol! Don't forget to encourage your child at home to read and talk to them about AR tests that they have taken!

BMX Show

I wish everyone could have seen the excitement in the gym yesterday during the BMX show! I loved watching the students' faces. They were amazed...and honestly so was I. Here is the link to the performer's website. (The kids have been asking for it.) :)

Healthy Focus

Our school is focusing on health! With Health Day (today) and Family Health Night (Thursday) it is a great time for our class to study the human body. Here is a kid friendly website to check out with your kids at home to get in on the fun! http://kidshealth.org/kid/htbw/index.html

Breakfast Meeting

Thanks to all who showed up for our Breakfast Meeting this morning! We discussed the Accelerated Reader program and how to make it more effective in our classroom. If you were unable to attend I sent home all information from the meeting with your child today. Look for your child's AR report and goal sheet to be in their folder soon!
