Poppin' For AR Points!

Kindergarten has started working on earning AR (Accelerated Reader) points!

AR is a program where students read books, or have books read to them, and then take a quiz over the books they read.  Each quiz is worth a certain amount of points, depending on the difficulty level of the book read. Typically each book’s quiz is worth 0.5 points

Each six weeks, every student has a goal of three points. Every time a student reaches their goal they will receive a “free shirt” pass. This is a red wrist bracelet that your child can wear to school on a designated day along with a school appropriate shirt of their choice. Also, students that reach their goal get to add a popcorn piece to our class popcorn bucket. At the end of the year, students with 4 popcorn pieces will earn a free ticket to the movies!

We are already off to a great start!

But wait! There is more!

To help your child reach their goal, please make sure they are reading each night. Have them read a book to you, or you may read a book to them. Once your child finishes a book and is ready to take a comprehension quiz on the book, send me a note or an email with the book title and author. I will then be able to allow them to take a quiz in class. Quizzes are only for the classroom, but you can be reading nightly with your child!

Thank you for your support with helping your student reach their AR goal!
