Come On In...and welcome back to my next blog entry!
Today I will share how I reward students who meet their AR goal.
Does the word party, make you feel happy or excited?
Well, to children ages 6 to 7, the word party brings squeals of delight! So, students who reach their individualized AR reading goal by the end of each quarter, can't wait until PARTY TIME!
Our 1st quarter AR party, was based on the book... If You Give a Cat a Cupcake, by Laura Numeroff.
After reading the book, the students enjoyed decorating their very own cupcake with toppings of their choice. Take a look at the pictures below, and you will see how something as simple as decorating and eating a cupcake can motivate children to read!
At our 2nd quarter AR party, students enjoyed a picnic with popsicles, and our 3rd quarter AR party is coming up in March, where students will enjoy a movie with popcorn. For our final AR Party this year, all students who meet their AR goal will participate in WATER DAY!!
As you can see, motivating students to read is easy with a little party, and those reluctant readers, well... they find out that reading is FUN after all.

Next time, I will blog about Author Studies and how they foster a love for reading!
So, between now and next time...Ya'll come back you hear!
