Class versus Class for a Free P.E. Period: Our class is feeling very confident in their ability to read and wanted to challenge another class. Our class has currently challenged the Grade 4 class to see who can read the most minutes. The class with the most minutes will take a P.E. class from the other class! Each week, our classes will share their minutes so each class can know how they are doing.
Below is a sample of the calendar that will be sent home. After discussing with the class, students came up with ideas on how to make the Read A Thon for our class. Here is what they came up with:
Draw Activities: Each day, for every 20 minutes a student reads they will receive one ticket. If students read for 40 minutes, they will receive two tickets (etc.). Each ticket will be put into a draw for a chance to win. The more tickets a student has, the higher the likelihood they will win. Note: For simplicity, it must be in 20 minute intervals. Example: 20 minutes = 1 ticket, 40 minutes = 2 tickets, 60 minutes = 3 tickets.
30 minutes = 1 ticket, 45 minutes = 2 tickets.
Stay in at lunch with a Friend at lunch: On many cold days, students like to stay inside. In most cases, students are not allowed to stay in the class. If a student wins this draw, they can pick one lunch hour to stay in with a friend.
P.E. Teacher: The student who wins this draw will meet with Mr. Blick and plan out a P.E. period. The student will run the entire class and is in charge. Mr. Blick will act as a student and will have to listen to the teacher!
Art Teacher: Mrs. Doeleman has agreed to let the student who wins pick an Art activity of their choice. Students can either pick their own idea or meet with Mrs. Doeleman and she will give them options. The student will act as the teacher and students must treat them as the teacher.
Helping Hand for 3 Days: Each day we have a Helping Hand that gets certain privileges for the day. These include having their choice of two special chairs, lining up and so forth. If students win this draw, they get to be Helping Hand for 3 consecutive days of their choice.
Play a Math Game During SSR: Each day students read for 20 to 25 minutes. If the student wins this draw, they are allowed to play a math game (the game must involve math skills) during this time.
Reading Goal Minutes: To help generate enthusiasm, students will gain additional prizes as a group if they meet particular goals.
Donut Ski Trip Day: If the class reaches 7 020 minutes by February 13th, each student will get a donut from Tim Hortons on February 14 ski trip. I will try my best to take requests from students (within reason).
Eat with Buddy at lunch: Students typically are allowed to read with a buddy every Friday. Since this is very popular, students will be given an extra day in the week if they meet the required minutes of 2 160 minutes
Extra Long Recess: Students will gain an additional 10 minutes on their Short Recess if the class reaches 11 340 minutes.
Read with Parent: If students read with their parent or student and parent read separate books as the same time, students are entitled to a bonus of 20 minutes. This can only happen one time each weekend.
February 2014 -Read-A-Thon Grade 5 Calendar: Student goal is 20 minutes each night or 560
minutes for the month. Parents MUST sign each day.
