Barnyard Book Bingo!

Today was the pay-off for students who met their Readers-to-Leaders goal! In our class students are required to read each night at home. It's important. If students can develop a habit of reading every night, it will improve their reading and it is a routine that will be expected of them for their entire career at Chets Creek. It's not an easy routine for a first grader. He must remember to change out his book each morning and get a new book - a "just right" book from his book bin. He must remember to take the book home and remind mom or dad that he is suppose to read. It is the child's responsibility. After reading he needs to log in the book. On Friday he needs to remember to turn the book log in at school so that he gets credit for all that he has read. If the log is full he needs to remember to get a new sheet.
If the child read and logged in 55 books at the end of the second nine week, then he met his Readers-to-Leaders goal and today earned the right to go to the Principal's Barnyard Book Bingo! What a wonderful time we had. The children earned lots of prizes! Last nine weeks, Mrs. Phillips got slimed and rumor has it that students who meet their goal next nine weeks will get to watch her kiss a pig!!! Now that should be worth a little reading time1
