Winter Reading Program


For the past 6 weeks, I have been in charge of the Elementary Winter Reading Program. It's been a lot of fun encouraging the children along in their reading! Most got really enthusiastic about earning their "books". For every 100 minutes they read, they were able to add a book to their bookshelf, which was posted on the wall in a display outside the Learning Center.



There were prizes such as donuts, movie & popcorn party, McDonald's free meal, Friendly's free meal, 2 weeks of Knight's privilege, and a pizza party at Miss Follett's house if they reached a certain "minute mark" :)

Today was the last day of the reading program, so we celebrated by having the Movie & Popcorn prize for those who earned it. The two heaping bowls of popcorn were gone in a matter of minutes!!!



They watched a short movie called "Storykeepers". It's a video series about secret Christians who lived great during Nero's reign in Rome, and told stories about Jesus.
