Nightly Reading Assignment

JUST A REMINDER - As part of each student's reading grade, they are required to read at least 20 minutes each evening at home.   Each student has received a Planner to track their homework, unfinished assignments, and daily reading.  Parents please make sure that you are signing your child's planner each night after they complete their reading assignments.

KEN GARTH READING PROGRAM - OCTOBER GOAL is 9,375 minutes - We have succeeded our goal for the month and are currently at 10,325 minutes for the month!!!!  Don't forget to fill out your Reading Tracking Sheet for the week!!! Parents don't forget to sign Planners for evening reading minutes.

This year Hunter Elementary School is participating in the Ken Garth Reading Program.  The school has a goal of reading 2,000,000 minutes from September 22nd until the end of May.  Our classroom goal is 75,000 minutes for the year - that means approximately 9,375 minutes every month.  For every 100 minutes that a student reads they will be given a ticket for a chance to win a new bicycle.  Two new boys and two new girls bikes will be given away at our PTA Assembly in May.
