Reading Challenge!!!
So I will eat them in a box.
I can eat them with a fox,
And I will eat them in a house.
And I will eat them with a mouse.
And I will eat them here and there.
Say! I will eat them anywhere!
Just as Sam I Am can eat anywhere.....Students can READ anywhere!
Teachers and staff challenge our students to read twenty minutes a night and document their reading! Students will receive a reading log on Monday. February 29th to complete during the week. Reading logs are to be returned to your child's classroom teacher on Friday, March 4th.
