Once again, Watwood is participating in the Six Flags Six Hour Reading Club. This program is designed to enhance the language arts curriculum by encouraging students to read. Every student who completes six hours of recreational reading before February 22nd , tracks this reading time with a reading log, and submits the signed verification form will receive a certificate of participation in the program and a FREE ticket to Six Flags! Certificates and tickets will be given in May at Awards Day. The reading verification forms were sent home with students in December. See Mrs. Forbus if you need a new one. Happy reading everyone!

Circulation statistics in our media center show increases each year. Hooray! That means we are reading more and more books. The more you read, the more you know. Watching the books fly off of the shelves is a wonderful thing! Just remember when you finish reading the book to return it to the media center so that others can read it as well. Parents, check with your students on a regular basis to make sure they are reading and returning books. Overdue notices are sent to the homeroom teachers on a regular basis, so students are aware if they have books to be returned.

I hope everyone is working hard to reach their AR goal for the second nine weeks. The reward for reaching your goal is a PIZZA PARTY! Many of you enjoyed last nine weeks’ ice cream social. Get busy reading and racking up those points!
