50 Book Initiative

In 206, students will be introduced to the first chapter of a GREAT chapter book. We hope to introduce 50 books this year to spark a love of reading. Students can buy or borrow the book and finish it on their own. If they do, and complete a bookmark, they earn a No Homework Pass and their name on a star in our classroom. The 50 Book Initiative can be used in conjunction with Rhino Reading, too!
