March 4-8

Important Notes for Reading Month

• Students have individual passports to track their Reading Counts points and other Reading Adventures. Passports are collected every Friday and returned the same day.

• It's important for students to read at home so they can get as many points as possible!

• There are raffles each week for students who have earned the required 3 points per week. Our class goal is 100 points per week.

• If students also complete the Reading Adventures in the passport, they will have an opportunity to get an additional raffle ticket.
