40 Book Challenge
We are encouraging students to participate in the 40 Book Challenge this year and read from a variety of genres. Each student has a 40 Book Challenge log in his/her AR folder. Students must pass the AR test and have their ELA teachers sign their logs. Students have until the last AR deadline of the school year to complete this challenge. They can read ANY books they would like to read as long as they read the required number in each genre. Once a student finishes the challenge, he/she must show the ELA teacher. The ELA teacher will email Mrs. Jones and she will call you to the library to receive a 40 BC shirt, take your picture for the website/social media, and announce your name over the intercom. Please let Mrs. Jones know if you need help finding a book!

Battle of the Books
Students are encouraged to read from a list of books called the Louisiana Young Readers’ Choice nominees. These are books recommended by the Louisiana State Library. Reading these books is OPTIONAL and parents should help their children pick out the titles that are the best fit for their own kids. Common Sense Media and Goodreads are two excellent websites to find reviews of these books. The titles are geared for middle grade students in grades 4-8. Students who read and test on these books should be sure to add these to their 40 Book Challenge log.

Millionaires Club
All students who earn 1,000,000 words by the last AR deadline get invited to a Millionaire Celebration. The students will walk the red carpet to a special event just for our millionaires. You can keep track of words in the AR program. Parents can check points/words here. Once you reach 1 million words, have your ELA teacher check and email Mrs. Jones. |
