Hood-Case Reads!
Our entire school will be participating in Hood-Case Reads! We will be reading Life According to Og the Frog by Betty Birney! On Monday, your oldest student will be bringing home the book. All students will receive a reading calendar and raffle tickets. On Monday, all families are asked to read Chapter 1 together. Once you finish, fill out the raffle ticket for Chapter 1 and send it to school with each of your students on Tuesday. That patterns continues for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. No time to read, no problem! On our school website is a tab named Hood-Case Reads! Simply click that tab on your computer, ipad or phone and each chapter will be there recorded for you and your students to listen to the chapter in both English and Spanish!
