Camp WannaRead
This Nine Weeks our 4th grade students signed a contract to participate in either reading projects or Accelerated Reader. Our students have 20 minutes of DEAR ( drop everything and read) time daily. They also have 30 minutes a week minimum to complete a project on a favorite book read. 4th grade requires one report each on a 1) nonfiction 2) biography 3) chapter book and 4) free choice per quarter ( 9 week period). Every student was given a projects choice sheet and a rubric to go along with each project. You may download each of those here. If 4 projects are completed with at least 15/20 points awarded, they may attend Camp "Wanna" Read.
Another option given was to read 6 books in the above mentioned categories through Accelerated Reader. Books must be read in their ZPD range with an average of 90% for the term. The student will use graphic organizers for fiction and non-fiction prior to the AR test. If 6 books minimum are read and 90% accuracy was maintained, they may attend Camp "Wanna" Read.
I know everyone will reach their goal!
