Good Morning!
I am having the students grab a quick signature from a parent this on their planners in their 'month' section. For each day they read 20 minutes, they will grab a signature from a parent or guardian on the day, and on Friday they may pick a classroom coupon from me for the day! Coupons include: One-day late pass for homework, use of mp3 player in class during work time, switch spots for the day, bring in slippers and/or a stuffed animal, etc...
This is not homework, nor is it going in their grade-book. I find that this is a great way to get some students to read who would not normally read outside of class!
P.S. The 6th grade picnic is this Friday, where we will be talking to the 6th graders a bit more about 'kids helping kids' this year. Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to help out and/or bring in a yummy dessert!
