Announcement: THE SUMMER READING CHALLENGE OF 2016 IS HERE!!!

Announcing the Summer Reading Challenge of 2016!!!

Who?  Anyone from our school who likes to read.

What?  Read books over the summer and leave a comment telling me what you read.  A participant will read at least 5 good chapter books this summer.  A champion reader will read at least 10 books this summer.  An elite reader will read 15 or more books.

When?  The Summer Reading Challenge starts June 8 and ends on the first day of school.

Where?  That's the beauty of it.  You can participate from anywhere in the world!  Just leave me a comment for each book you read.

How?  As you complete chapter books this summer, leave a comment with the author and title of the book.  I will update you on the official SUMMER READING CHALLENGE PAGE.  You can track your progress and the progress of your friends too.

Why?  Do you really need to ask this question?  You should participate because reading is awesome!  I will also be recognizing students who participate and read at least 5 books when we return in the fall with award certificates.
