100 Nights of Reading End-of-the-Year Celebration

This year we decided to try a new challenge with our students.  We challenged them to read 100 nights this school year.  Students kept reading logs to document that they read at least 20 minutes per night.  After completing 25 nights of reading, students were able to choose a prize from the prize box.  Upon completion of 100 nights, they received an invitation to our end-of-the-year celebration that included a build-your-own ice cream sundae station.

Congratulations to all students who participated this year and successfully met the challenge! 

Will you accept the challenge?

Okay, NLMSIS, are you ready for a challenge?  I want YOU to read for 100 NIGHTS this year!  Can you do it?  Yes, you can!

I hope that you will participate in our new reading challenge: 100 Nights of Reading.  To participate in the challenge, all you have to do is read for 100 nights during the school year for at least 20 minutes per night.  Use your 100 Nights of Reading log to record your minutes.  Once you complete 25 nights of reading, bring in your completed log and choose a prize from the prize box.  All students who successfully read for at least 100 nights during the school year will be invited to an end-of-the-year celebration.

The best part?  You can double-dip your reading minutes with any reading minutes that you are already doing for your Language Arts classes.  There are also no restrictions on your reading.  Read anything that you like: fiction, nonfiction, magazines, graphic novels, cereal boxes!  The research proves that it is not what you read, but instead how much you read, so read what you like and for the fun of it.

See Mrs. Young or Mrs. Goedderz in the library for new reading logs.  We hope that all of you will participate.
