Pizza Hut Book It! Reading Incentive Program Begins October 1st!
In the Friday folder, you will find a form for Book It! for the month of October.  (What a great way to read your new Scholastic books and get credit for them!)  First graders are asked to read 10 books during the month, and the goal for second graders is 15 books.  Reading homework assignments do not count as Book It! books.  Chapter books may be counted by writing each chapter as a single "book" on the form.  If you would like to participate, please complete the project and return the form by the due date at the bottom.  Students with completed forms by the due date will receive a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.  I will try to scan a blank form for each grade and include in a later post on this blog as well.  Please note that this project is not required, but a great incentive for students to practice their skills and read for fun at home!
