Hello All,

For the month of February, our school will be hosting a Read-a-thon challenge for students. Your child’s class will be participating in this challenge. The objective is to read frequently in and out of class time to earn points based on the reading minutes of every student participating. 

Your child will be provided with a reading record calendar to keep track of reading minutes in class with the challenge of continuing to read 20 minutes, or more, each day at home. Reading minutes include time spent reading as well as time being read to. 

The theme for our Read-a-thon is Minecraft, and the goal for the month is to earn enough points to defeat the Enderdragon.  Each Tuesday and Friday Mrs. Walker (ARES Teacher/Librarian) will be releasing a video to show the students their progress in reaching the goal.

Here is a link to the first video: https://somup.com/c3VwDfZC2j

On Friday come back to enjoy the next video to see our School's progress.

The month will include several in class activities as well as some celebrations. To support our reading month, our library will be hosting a Book Fair on February 14th and 15th.

Thank you for your support. Enjoy Reading!
