Our first quarter goal is to earn at least 10 A. R. points by Oct. 19th, which is the last day of the quarter. This will be part of your child's reading grade. (There will be opportunities to earn some A.R. points from books we read together in class as well as from independent reading.)

Please note: Each student must have at least 10 A.R. points each quarter of third grade!!!!! Your child will receive a personalized goal for the second, third, and fourth quarters. Reading goals are based on reading ability at the beginning of each quarter. You can monitor this on his or her A.R. using the tracker bookmark. Each star colored by your student equals one A.R. point earned. At ten points, your student will be given a new point tracker bookmark. Thank you! Happy Reading!
