Willowwind friends are excited to begin a reading challenge!! Are you ready to read?!?!
On Friday, your child took home a bright orange packet of information that highlights this reading challenge. Students are challenged to read at least 300 minutes in the next two weeks. In addition, students can find sponsors to pledge money to support their reading challenge. Your child and Willowwind benefit 100% from each pledge your child receives!!! Half of your child's pledges will buy your family books at the upcoming Usborne Book Fair and the other half will bring in new books for our classroom library and our school library. Pledge checks can be made payable to Usborne Books. To kick off our Reading Challenge, Willowwind friends were able to sample some of he books they can purchase from Usborne through our upcoming book fair. Your child began a Wish List of books, found in their orange packet. You can also visit Books For Our Kids to look at additional titles.
Each day, have your child use the orange packet to record the minutes they read or minutes that you read to them. You can automatically enter in 30 minutes each day for your child's school reading that takes place during Quiet Reading Time. Students can add on to their 30 minutes of school reading as we read more together. On Friday, February 17th return your child's signed reading log, full pledge envelope, and wish list to Willowwind.
Students will then be able to shop the Usborne Book Fair which will take place February 28th through March 1st.
How much has your child read this weekend? Teachers are participating, too. I curled up with the final book in the Hunger Games series this weekend. What a great read to enjoy some extra reading time. Happy reading!!
