Monthly Reading Calendar


The March Reading Calendar will go home on March 3rd. Your child should have bring it home on Monday. Please keep it in a safe place and return it to school on (or before) the end of the month.

This reading calendar is a little different from the other reading calendars we have done so far. March is national reading month and we are doing something special. Student will still read for 15 minutes 3 times a week. However, instead of returning the calendar at the end of the month, students will write one good, detailed sentence each day that he/she reads. Parents will sign a slip and return the sentence (describing the book) to school the day after he/she read for 15 minutes. Students will then put a sticker on a shamrock displayed on our classroom door. Students will be able to go above and beyond the required reading. At the end of the month, the calendar should be initialed and turned in on, or before, March 20th.

Being that spring break is during the month of March, the reading calendar will be due before spring break in order to give everyone time off from school work. Reading Calendar is due March 20th.

If our class reads 3,200 minutes during the month we will have a popcorn and movie party. Students who do not do their part and read 8 times for 15 minutes will not be able to attend the party.
