Reading Challenges
Nightly reading is a crucial part of your child's reading development. Fifth graders should read a minimum of 30 minutes nightly.
To encourage students to read from different genres and to enjoy reading we enjoy 3 different reading challenges in the school year.
To earn a Read-a-thon party students must read all the books on the challenge, complete 3 projects, and have his/her log completely filled in and signed. Everything is due on the date specified. A party follows a week after!
