Read Around the World Challenge!
AIG students at ECMMS will be participating in a Read Around the World Competition for the remainder of the year. Dr. Danehower and Ms. Stone partnered to create a challenge that will allow students to study different countries and cultures. Each AIG student will be recording the choice novels they read based on the Sustainable Development Goal, and organizing and reflecting on these novels. They will share their thinking on their AIG Learning Portfolios. The grade level with the most novels read in the wild will earn a celebration in AIG near the year's end.
