Right To Read Week
Right To Read Week was tons of fun this year. The children read
lots of books and took lots of tests. The challenge for the students
during Right To Read Week was to take lots of AR tests on Friday,
March 2, which was Dr. Suess’s birthday. We were trying to help
break the national record of 2,177,586 tests taken on his birthday.
At 1:15 PM, the record was broken. A total of 3,581,992 AR tests
were taken nationwide and we were a part of it all. Our children took
476 Accelerated Reader (AR) tests that day!!! Even our Kindergarteners
took AR tests on Friday. To date, the children have taken a
total of 2,546 tests so far this school year.
We are so proud of our students. They did a great job. We celebrated
the end of Right To Read Week by eating cupcakes decorated
with the Cat In The Hat logo. The cupcakes were made by the 12 th
grade Foods/Lifeskills class. The children were also given Cat In The
Hat hats to wear. Now, let’s keep reading till the end of the school
year!
