Books For Finals!
Let's Put A Book in the Hand of EVERY Student THIS WEEK
Did you know that our students DO NOT get to visit the LC on a regular basis? ELA classes DO NOT come down for check-outs. As a result many of our students DO NOT have a book to read during finals!
MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER THESE LAST FEW DAYS BEFORE BREAK!
- reading is a technology-free option to keep kids occupied, perfect for rooms that have no cellphone policies during testing
- it's something easy for kiddos to do if they finish testing early
- students won't have an "I don't have anything to do" excuse!
- helps maintain a quiet testing environment
- will give students something to read over winter break, too
- helps students relax, while still keeping their brain active (way better than sleeping or staring off into space!)
- students can read one of our Truman books and get free stuff!
GIVE KIDS THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ!
They'll never learn to read for pleasure if they don't have a book in their possession. Students have less time than EVER to get a book on their own during the school day. Passing periods are too short. Lunch time needs to be devoted to eating. ELA classes don't visit anymore.
MAKE READING A PRIORITY!
When are Saeger students supposed to get a book if we don't make time for it? How and when are we setting the stage for our students to find a book they'll enjoy, that's not REQUIRED reading?
BUILDING HABITS START NOW!
If we want our students to grow up to be readers, we have to help them develop the habit of checking out and reading books of their choice now. Reading is proven to boost achievement. Don't let SMS students miss out.
