Notes from the Library! Winter Break Reading Challenge

Cozy up for some Winter Break reading and keep those reading muscles strong! How to play:

1. Decide how many minutes you will read a day between December 20th and January 5th.
2. Each day you meet your goal, write the number of minutes and the date in a marshmallow. (What counts as reading? Read to yourself, listen to an audiobook, read with a grownup, being read to).
3. Have a grownup in your family sign your reading sheet.
4. Return your sheet by Friday, January 9 for an invitation to Mrs. P.’s Morning Hot Cocoa Party during January. You need to read at least 12 days to meet your goal.

Winter Break Reading Challenge Forms are available in the Library.

This year, we have 10 (yes you read that right!), teams going on a Global Reading Challenge adventure. Our first meeting will be next week during 4th and 5th grade lunch/recess. Moving forward, we would LOVE to have some parent volunteers join us to practice quiz questions with the readers. Come join us on your lunch break and be inspired! Sign Up Details.
