That is the fun fact relating to the 1,692 reading goals that have been met by WES students in the Reading Through Time reading incentive program. With 4 more weeks to go in the program, it is expected students will read their way well into the 21st century, beyond the initial goal of meting 2000 reading goals. Last week Mrs. Weisman s class received special recognition for having every student reach his or her reading goal for the week. Kindergarten through second grade students must read a total of one hour a week while third and fourth grade students need to read 80 minutes to reach their goal. Loads of fun facts are included on a timeline in the hallway outside the computer lab.
Students also earn Merlin dollars for reaching their reading goals.
These will be spent at a special Merlin Store in early April. Get your neighbors, friends, relatives, and business associates to send in their boxtops. Deadline for turning in boxtops so we can receive this bonus is March 16. We will continue to collect boxtops year round. One more incentive program is being planned for this year.
