40 BOOK CHALLENGE CHECK IN - NOVEMBER 8 DRAWING
How is your child doing with the 40 Book Challenge? We'll have our 1st drawing on November 8, at the end of our 1st semester. We will draw 15 tickets and present the gift certificates to students. We are excited about the great participation and about the enthusiasm students have shown for reading books!
Your child's teacher has explained the challenge and the specific format for each grade level. When a student completes 10 books, he or she is given a ticket that enters them in the raffle. We will leave all tickets in the bin until the end of the year. It's not too late to start... or to push for more independent reading!
