  • MARCH IS READING MONTH! 

 

What are you currently reading in SSR? How many pages are you reading a week?  Help your SSR class win a bagel and donut party to celebrate your success! Here’s how the competition works:

For the two week period of March 12-23rd, teachers will track how many pages are read by their SSR+ classes (in class only!) and complete a google doc form

that will be sent on the 23rd.  Class size will be taken into consideration, and the class with the highest average will win!  

In addition, a second contest will take place in the library each week during the same time period: 

2) Match the book to the reader! Visit the library beginning next week and pick up a matching form that asks you to match the teacher to the book he/she is currently reading.  Submit your completed form to the box on the library counter.  There will be several prizes such as gift cards/food awards, and a winner will be drawn for each week. Best of luck, and enjoy your reading!
