Bartlett Dives Into Reading Progress Report

Today I was teaching a math group to some second graders and one student said, "I like Bartlett Dives Into Reading better than the Reading Rainforest." I asked him why, and he said, "I like having fish swimming around me in the cafeteria."

Indeed, as I write, there are 82 fish swimming in the cafeteria. We are off to a great start to the program with 45% of the students at Bartlett participating. On Thursday, we had our first lunchtime raffle. This was a lot of fun and hopefully motivated the students who haven't yet turned in their reading log to get one turned in. I will have another raffle before the break in December.

A special commendation goes to Mrs. Audley's class which has 75% of her students participating! Wow! Keep up the good work.

Bartlett Students Vote

On November 4th, Bartlett Students were given the opportunity to participate in voting with their own elections. One of the items on the ballot was, "What color do you want the 100-day Reader T-Shirt to be?" It was a very close election with Lime Green earning one more vote than Cherry Red.

The reading papers have started coming in. So far over 50 students have turned in their first reading logs. There are now fish swimming around the submarines in the cafeteria! Our first lunch raffle will be next week. All children who have turned in a reading log will be entered into the raffle.
