Accelerated Reader

 

Dear Parents,

In an ongoing effort to inspire the love of reading in our children, we will continue our AR “store” that will allow students to spend their points on a variety of fun prizes.  Though the prizes may change slightly from quarter to quarter, here is a look at what your student can earn:

 

 

5th   Grade-  (25 points per quarter/ 100 points per year)

 

Level 1 =  25 points = Treat Bag- Pick Two Prizes!

Level 2 =  30 points = Treat Bag- Pick Three Prizes!

Level 3 =  35 points = Paperback Book

Level 4=   45 points = Scholastic Book Fair $5 Gift Certificate (1st and 2nd quarter)

                                                                        OR

                                                  30 Minutes Free Time in Computer Class (3rd and 4th quarter)

Level 5 =  55 points = Homework or Assignment Pass (only certain assignments will be eligible—to be determined by the homeroom teacher)

Level 6 =  60 points = “Be the Teacher” in Library Class- your child will get to help plan the lesson and teach the class during library time.

Level 7=  70 points = Dress Down (NUTS) Day—this will be on one designated day per quarter.  If your child “buys” a dress-down day a note will come home letting you know when it is.

 

The AR Store will be open once per quarter, approximately one week after the quarter ends.  Your child may come each time and spend their points or may save them up for something “BIG”.  They may also buy more than one prize if they have enough points.

 

We are all very excited about this program and we hope the children will be excited too. You can check your child’s points at https://hosted223.renlearn.com/47922/HomeConnect/Login.aspx.  You can log in using the same login and password that your child uses at school.   Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Kindly,

 

Mrs. Rainier, Librarian
