March is reading month. Students will celebrate the joy of reading in a variety of ways. \u00a0I am sending home a Haigh calendar with daily reading activities for students. \u00a0I am also sending home a reading log in which students set a monthly reading goal including the number of minutes they will read for the month. \u00a0The suggested daily minutes for first grade is 20 minutes. \u00a0If students reach the \u00a0reading goal, at the end of the month they can earn a prize.<\/p>\n
Also, instead of the Reading Response Notebook, students can participate in the Haigh book summary contest. \u00a0If students write a summary about a book, they can earn a sticker and their summary is entered into a drawing. \u00a0They may earn a prize if their summary is selected during the drawing. \u00a0I will send home book summary forms.<\/p>\n
We will also have a classroom book swap on Thursday, March 24, 2016. \u00a0Students may bring in a new or used book to swap for another book.<\/p>\n
I want to invite all parents and guardians to read a book to our class during March. \u00a0If you would like to read a book to our class, please complete the form I am sending home with the day in which you would like to read.<\/p>\n
Happy Reading!<\/p>\n
Have a great week!<\/p>\n
