Before students left school for the winter break, they were presented with a challenge--to read at least 500 minutes over break. That is quite a few minutes, but we knew we would have students rise to the challenge. Students completed a reading log and documented their minutes throughout the break. Then, students who reached 500 minutes of reading brought their logs in to school. Mrs. Moore, one of our reading specialists, was the teacher who developed and organized the challenged. She tallied the logs and we had 60 students who met the goal of reading at least 500 minutes.
On Friday, January 8, students were supposed to have been treated to an extra recess outside for fun snow games. But since it was raining (yes, raining) that day, we had a fun indoor activity instead. Students were in groups of 4 and made their own torn paper snowmen. After students finished that activity, they were treated to hot chocolate and candy canes. The students loved it. Check out our pictures below. The snowmen are so great looking. They will be decorating our halls soon.
And keep your eyes out for our spring break reading challenge!
