Re: Read-In
Date: May 9, 2001
As
a culminating activity for our Spring Reading Initiative, we will have a READ-IN, a
school wide SSR (sustained silent reading) in the gym on Wed. May 30
beginning at 9:30 am and ending about 10:00 am. See details below.
The
Reading
Chain
continues to grow along the library ceiling.
As of May 8 we have read a total of 135,725 pages. We are behind last year’s page total for
this date. Remember to fill out Book
Badges for books read or listened to.
Parents, teachers, siblings are all invited to participate by filling
out Book Badges. If a book is read
aloud to a group, only one Book Badge need to be filled out. Write an equation
on the pages line. (Example: 26 x 32 pgs.)
Read-In:
Everyone should report to the gym at 9:30. Areas in the gym will be designated with signs for middle, intermediate and primary. Teachers are asked to sit with their students. To avoid a “traffic jam” at the main gym door, the outside doors will also be used, weather permitting.
Enter gym as
follows:
Back
gym door closest to the playground: Rooms
224, 225, 116
Main
gym door: Computer room, Art room,
Music room, and rooms 112, 115
The
second period teachers will bring their middle school students to the gym.
Please
remind your students to bring appropriate reading materials that day. I will announce the total page tally and total books read and
signal the beginning of SSR. The
Reading Chain will be on display in the gym.
Everyone
is invited. Bring a book, magazine, or
newspaper and share this celebration of reading!
