Richardson Review January 7-9, 2009

Welcome back! I hope you and your family had an enjoyable holiday break. It is a new year and we have much to do before our time together ends.

READ to SUCCEED

Your child has the opportunity to earn a free ticket to Six Flags by becoming a member of the Six Flags Six Hour Reading Club! You can read books, magazines, comic books, or newspapers. Your AR books also count towards your reading goal. You will need to start reading very soon! Record what you read and the time you spend reading. Please see the form in your child’s folder. The last day to turn in forms is February 25, 2009. No late turn in will be allowed. Please note the change in date! I made a mistake on the newsletters sent home. Sorry :(

January Book It

In addition to the Read to Succeed program, we will also continue our Book-It program. This does not mean you have to read more than usual. You can write down any books you read for both programs. Our goal for January is 10 books! The deadline is January 31.
