How this works is for 10 days (Feb 20-March 1) the kids will read as much as they can to accumulate minutes outside of school hours. The goal is to have the most amount of students reach 300 minutes. That is 30 minutes a day for 10days. WE CAN DO IT! :)
If your students would like, they can get sponsors from families and friends to donate to their reading. They can donate a flat rate or challenge your readers by sponsoring them a a set amount per page. It really is up to them.
Please look at the timeline below and I have attached the letter that went home today in their mailbox as well.
Timeline for the IdidaREAD
2/13- Wednesday- Read-a-thon packets will go home with lots of information
2/15- The students can get sponsors (for every 5 sponsors the kids will get to put their name in a drawing for some awesome prizes)
2/20-3/1- Start counting their minutes outside of the classroom. The kids can earn minutes for reading during morning choice
3/7- All packets with minutes and sponsor forms turned in. Remember , THEY DO NOT NEED Sponsors. I care more about them getting at least 30 minutes of reading a day during the
