As you may know, our class is participating in a reading competition for March is Reading Month! This year our theme is dog sledding and the Iditarod race! Hopefully each family was able to see the display outside our classroom (across form the elevator) which depicts the race.
Each student has their picture and their own sled. As they read books and complete the mini book report, they receieve a dog, or "musher," added to their sled. The more dogs they have, the faster their sled goes!
We have been racing for 2 weeks now, and will conclude our race on April 8th with a pizza party prize for the student or students with the most dogs! Their will also be a second and third place prize.
If you need more book reports to fill out, please let me know. Remember, guided reading books do not count for the race. Also, your child has to participate in the reading of the book, not just have it read to them. When filling out the reports, please help your child with capital letters and periods, as well as stretching the words out.
Many students have already begun, earning several dogs each! Currently, Kyle is in the lead! On your marks...Get set...MUSH!
