Your student brought home a packet on Friday informing you all about March is Reading Month: Once Upon a Time, at Salem... In addition, they brought home a WEEKLY Reading/Writing Log that will be used throughout the month. *These will replace our normal monthly reading logs*. Please continue to keep these in the back pocket of their Red Folders so we keep consistency.
I will collect these every FRIDAY during the month of March. Please total your student's minutes from the week AND sign the bottom of the reading log in order to be included in the competition. Help us turn Wylie the Coyote from a frog back into a coyote!
Book Swap Day FRIDAY
To kick off March is Reading Month in our classroom, we are going to
have a book swap! Each student may bring up to 3 books that they have
already read or would like to exchange. Only students who bring books in
to swap will be able to participate. Students will have the opportunity to
go home with as many books as they bring in.
This is a great way to get new reading material without spending any
money! Dig under your bed, in your basement, and in your closet for your
old and used books to swap out for some fresh ones. Happy Reading!
Book Swap day is: Friday, March 8th :)
