Summer Readers

Yesterday morning, I invited all of the students who had turned in their summer reading forms to come to the library to pick up their prizes.

For summer reading this year, I handed out a Genre BINGO form. Students wrote the titles of books they read into the corresponding boxes and turned the sheet in in the first week of school.

Because of all our early outs and crazy schedules we had to keep pushing back the prize handouts, but we finally got to it Thursday morning. Those of you who know me know how much I love Target, and I especially love their dollar spot. I'd been collecting things from the dollar spot throughout the summer: bags, pencils, erasers, bookmarks, stickers, books, etc. As a prize for turning in a sheet, students got a bag full of those goodies. Students who accomplished a blackout received a gift card to Barnes & Noble, courtesy of PTO.

I took the basic template for our Wildcat's Read teacher posters and turned them into student certificates.

The goodie bags--thanks Target!

I'm very thankful that our PTO has sponsored the summer reading program again!

And here they are! Congrats to these readers!
