The beginning of October does NOT mean that Halloween is almost here. It doesn't mean we're in the middle of fall. It doesn't mean winter is getting closer..yikes! WHAT????
October means Book-It is starting!!!!!! This is a reading incentive program sponsored by Pizza Hut. Who doesn't like pizza right? A calendar will be sent home with your child on October 1st stating the monthly reading goal. Your child should record the amount of time he/she reads at home each night and return the calendar to me at the end of each month for their Pizza Hut coupon.
I do not require your child to participate in this program; however, what better reason to read than to earn pizza??? This is a totally optional activity that runs from October to March. The past few years I have had only a few kids choose to participate in this which makes me really sad. I'm hoping for really good results from this year's class :)
So...now here is the extra special incentive for participating in this program!!!! Those students who do participate all six months will celebrate by having a pizza party with me!!!!! I will be supplying the pizza in April for all the students who reach or surpass their reading goal for ALL six months. Those that do not participate, will eat lunch in the cafeteria as usual with a different teacher.
I hope you encourage your child to participate and HAPPY READING!!!
