Read Across America - Reading Challenge!
March is Read Across America month. During the the month of March, students are encouraged to participate in a reading challenge. Mrs. C-Smith kicked off the challenge with this video - check it out!
How the reading challenge works:
- Earn one ticket for every 30 pages read.
- Show your Cougar Time teacher the pages you read to receive your ticket.
- Tickets will earn you a chance to win prizes at the end of the month!
- Books must be read during March - no past reads count!
- For an additional challenge and added fun, you can try and get a Bingo(s) using this Bingo Card. If you get a Bingo, write the book title on the Bingo Card.
- Print a copy of the the Bingo Card and turn it in to Mrs. C-Smith in the Media Center. Or if you prefer to use Notability, you can just show her!
