Make time to read!!

Have you signed up for the Scholastic summer reading program yet? The theme is READING UNDER THE STARS. 

Our class is participating. Each student has received a unique screen name and password. It's easy to get started. Go to www.scholastic.com/summer and log-in with the assigned name and password. You can help set a new world record for minutes reading. It continues through September 5th.  The website has virtual rewards, recommended book lists, and activity suggestions. Much research has shown that the more you read, the better you get! So...

Another way to encourage kids to read is to allow them to select their own books. A great way to do this is at the book fair, happening June 6th though June 11th. Kids will visit during the school day. You can send money with them or visit after school from 3:00--3:30. The fair will also be open on Sunday from 11:00--1:00 and Tuesday after school until 6:30!
