Jasper Right to Read Society READ-A-THON!

January 12 – February 13^th

Dear Teachers and Students,

Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime! Jasper Elementary School and the Jasper Right to Read Society are pairing up for our first ever read-a-thon! Students and teachers your mission is to set a weekly reading goal and read, read, read to reach your goal! Use the read-a-thon calendar to keep track of your reading minutes. You can include anytime that you spend reading after school and on the weekends. Along the way we will have draws for students and classes who are participating. The Jasper Right to Read Society will be partnering with the staff to host a few optional reading events in January and February:

January 22^nd – Books to Movies: An after school movie will be shown in the Jasper Elementary School gymnasium at 3:30 pm. The Right to Read Society will be selling popcorn for $2.00/bag.  Movie details to follow.

January 23^rd – READ - IN and Dress-up as your Favourite Storybook Character: Children will be invited to come to school dressed as a character from a book. The read-in assembly will take place in the gymnasium from 11:00 – 12:00. 

January 29^th – Student Led Conferences: Classrooms will schedule a one hour block after school for students to celebrate and share their learning with their parents. Your child’s classroom teacher will let you know the time that is planned for their class. The Right to Read Society will have information on their organization and a photo booth for families to take pictures.

February 11^th – Student Film Festival: Elementary and Jr/Sr High students will be invited to present short videos to friends and family members. The event will take place in the Jasper Elementary School gymnasium.  The Right to Read Society will sell popcorn at the event $2.00/bag.

Book Exchange - A table will be set-up in the school for students, staff, and families to swap books.

 

The sound of the week is the same sound as last week, but it is spelled as "en".  This time, there is a grandpa who doesn't hear very well and says, "agh" in order to hear.  The words of the week are:

1. cent - 100

2. dent - tooth

3. lent - slow

4. vent - wind

5. enfant - child

6. serpent - snake

 

** Reminder that this Friday is a half day and that the students may dress up as a storybook character in the morning.

 

Have a great week!
