Hi everyone...Happy Summer! I introduced the "Genre Passport". It involved reading 6 books from different genres for students in grade 2 and 12 books from different genres for grades 3-5. The students had to give an oral book talk to the rest of the class for each book read. It was a huge success. For every completed passport, the kids got to drop it in the "Genre Box" and at the end of the year we drew out 2 winners. These students got to pick out $100.00 of new books from the Scholastic Book Fair that we had at our annual end of year picnic. Since it was a "Buy One Get One Free", it only cost me $100.00 for two kids, who were THRILLED! Their parents were even more thrilled and came with the kids. I was working with the students when the new Superintendent came over and she was very impressed. It was a win-win program all around. My circulation stats were good and didn't fall down despite the terrible schedule I teach. If you would like a copy of the passport that I used, just click on http://mikids.com/Library/Passports.html Cheers, Carolyn Gundrum, B.Ed., (UBC) M.A. (WMU) LMS, Waukazoo and Sheldon Woods Elementary Schools, Holland, MI 49424 http://www.mikids.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
