PARP Week Wrap-up:
- 138 students submitted a "My PARP Week Activities" sheet which tracked their participation in At Home and In School suggested activities throughout the week! Way to go!!!
- In total, Countrywood students read 15,476 minutes this week! That's amazing!!! While our goal was 25,000, we have a feeling that more minutes were read and not recorded but that's okay 😊. Just keep reading!!!
- The classes that read the most minutes by grade were: Ms. Bertolino (Kindergarten) with 1,035 minutes; Ms. Schwartz (1st Grade) with 875 minutes and Ms. Rabideau (2nd Grade) with 2,039 minutes. These classes received Book Buddies and will enjoy a PARP Party in the coming weeks.
- Over 100 riddles were submitted during PARP week.
- We received 85 original works of art inspired by The Dot or Ish. These masterpieces will be used to make a poster that will be on display at South Huntington Public Library in the near future.
- 80 Mad Libs were handed in...these silly stories will be compiled into an eBook and the link shared with everyone to enjoy!
- Over 75 students completed Reading BINGO activities. Unbelievable! Five students from each grade were randomly chosen to receive a Book Light/Timer as a prize.
- Ms. Korn welcomed 55 Guest Readers into the school Library - guests included parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts/uncles, School Administrators and even a Suffolk County Legislator.
- We received close to 50 Partner & Me Selfies which will be included in a PARP Week wrap-up slideshow that will be shown to all classes next week.
All in all, it was a fun and busy week! We hope that you and your child will make 15 minutes of reading together part of your daily routine! Happy Reading!
