What to do during break?

I have a great idea!  Curl up with a great book, or, curl up with someone who will read you a good book.  Let's see how many Read Aloud bookmarks we can turn in after break!

Some amazing 5th graders worked really hard to record each other reading Christmas books.  Take a look at some of the great stories by clicking the link below.  These would count toward your Read Aloud minutes too!

The next link is a site that authors will read a book to you, there are some great books on here!

AR Term 1 is coming to an end.

We are wrapping up our 1st Term for AR, and, kicking off Term 2.  I'm so impressed by the number of Apples on the wall outside the library, I'm even more impressed by the number of students that reached their goal!
Don't forget, each time you reach your goal, you earn a ticket toward the raffle for an iPod shuffle or and iPod Touch. 
2nd Graders are about to start taking AR tests too!  This is a really big step, they can use all of the encouragement we can give them.
If you have any questions regarding AR, please feel free to contact me
