1.) August = 7th and 8th graders who bring their completed summer reading records back to the reading teacher will be entered in a drawing for free stuff!!
*6th graders from CCES didn't receive the summer reading records this past spring like the Bremen and Longest students did...next year I'll include the 6th graders in the drawing. I promise.
2. ) September = Library Aides begin work. (1 student from the Discovery and Galaxy Teams will be chosen. Be on your best behavior and prove you're the one who deserves this privilege!) 7th and 8th graders can sign up for the Fall Book Frenzy. (Forgive me 6th graders, I have a good reason for not including you in this event. Will explain later.) Chess begins on Wednesday, September the 7th! I'll have a meeting during school to hand out info sheets and answer any questions about chess club.
3. ) October = Fall Book Frenzy on the 26th! Held after school from 3:45-5:00. Info provided to 7th and 8th graders later. This event was the favorite last year and will be even bigger and better this year! You don't want to miss it.
4.) November =Might be attending the Kentucky Book Fair on November 12th in Louisville. It's the 30th anniversary. I waiting for them to release the attending authors list to make my decision. Would like to take the "readers of the month" for August, September, and October to this event if they're interested. If not, we'll find something else that's literary and unique to do!
5.) December = Our Scholastic Book Fair! This is our only fundraiser of the year. We need to make $2500 to make any profit. We need this fair to be a success so that we can purchase more books! You want the latest and greatest releases, right?! Let's have a great fair!
So as you can see, I've planned something every month to keep us engaged and enthused about reading. Getting up early and working on homework may be just three days away, but we're getting closer to those fun events planned above and MORE!
See you soon...
Happy Reading!
