Book-It!!!!!

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 was sent home with your child on October 1st.  Please make sure you keep this calendar in a safe place.   I note went home with the calendar as well.  The second grade teachers decided to ask students to read 400 minutes each month during book-it.  It is recommended that 2nd graders read 20 minutes each night so this goal is achievable for your child.  When your child reads record that amount of time on the pizza crust and then they can color in the pizza slice. 

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  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 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!!!
