The Primary School Library is proud to present an enrichment program all second graders may participate in. Ichabod Crane Explorers is a reading incentive program designed to expose students to a wide variety of reading materials. By meeting specific reading and writing goals, a student acquires the tools to become an official Ichabod Crane Explorer. After completing level one, for example, students will be presented with a flashlight (bookmark), level two, a backpack (key chain), and so on. Explorers who complete all five levels will receive a number of “prizes” as well as recognition during second grade lunch and, of course, an invitation to the very popular “Private Pizza Party” in June. This program is fully funded by our amazing PTA.
The criteria for reaching each level are designed to encourage students to read and write about a broad range of reading materials. Students will need to read fiction, nonfiction (information or factual), biographies, and more from either the school or a public library. Requiring the books be from a library encourages your child to explore new books, rather than simply revisiting ones he or she has already read many times. This program is accessible to every reader because you and your child choose books that are at their reading level.
Invitations to join the Explorers Club will be sent home in late January or early February.
Keep reading and exploring!!!!
Due to the school closure we will be making our reading record packets available to print at home. Simply print them out, fill them in, and return them when school resumes.
I cannot wait to see all of the great reading you have done! - Ms Moss
