Fifty-seven students in grades 2-5 read to win Six Flags tickets for Six Flags Over Georgia. We are proud of the accomplishments of the students who read reacreationally for six hours outside of school. https://feedback.sixflags.com/rts/default.aspx
Students have been reading like little CHAMPIONS to make their reading goals to be placed in the Alabama Education Association's drawing for 2012 Iron Bowl Tickets. Winners will recieve two tickets to the game, guest passes to the athletic hospitality room, and a visit to the field during the pre-game activities.
Additionally, a drawing will be held for two teachers to win $1,500 for their classroom. We are working hard to make sure our school has 70% of our students meeting the challenge so that we can be entered into a drawing for $5,000 for our school library.
We also are hoping to win the bonus prize. :) Each class decorated a bulletin board or door with spirit of winning. There is a $250 cash prize being awarded to the teacher who has the best decorated bulletin board, door, or classroom using the contest theme. Here are the fantastic decorations displayed in our schoo1.

Every two weeks I select a faculty or staff member to highlight their favorite children's book pick. I began the year highlighting my own book pick that I posted in our school for students to read. My hope is that students will want to read the books teachers and staff memebers find dear to their hearts. I have highligted a lower grade book pick and a upper grade book pick.

I absolutely love this story!David's teacher has her hands full. From running in the halls to chewing gum in class, David's high-energy antics fill each school day with trouble-and are sure to bring a smile to even the best-behaved reader.
This is one of my favorite chapter books.I read this book when I was in third grade.Because of a bet, Billy is in the uncomfortable position of having to eat fifteen worms in fifteen days. The worms are supplied by his opponent, whose motto is "The bigger and juicier, the better!" At first Billy's problem is whether or not he can swallow the worm placed before him, even with a choice of condiments from peanut butter to horseradish. But later it looks as if Billy will win, and the challenge becomes getting to the worm to eat it. Billy's family, after checking with the doctor, takes everything in stride.

I love books! I especially love children’s stories. There are so many stories that I enjoy reading therefore it’s very difficult for me to tell you about just one. One of my all-time favorites is Skippyjon Jones by Judy Schachner.
SkippyjonJones is soooo very mischievous and he has a muy loco (which means very crazy) imagination. Another reason I like this books – I get to use my loco Spanish accent! Check it out amigos!
A Series of Unfortunate Events #1: The Bad Beginning has to be my favorite chapter book. It is mysterious, very cleverly written, and is full of new vocabulary words. It is about three orphaned children that have a series (lots of related things that happen one after another) of unfortunate (bad) things happen to them.
The best thing about this book is that if you love it, there are twelve more books in the series continuing the adventure! You will find it in the library on the Series shelves, written by Lemony Snicket.
