At the end of each quarter, the students at Maple Valley Elementary gather to honor those who reached Accelerated Reading milestones. After a student reads an Accelerated Reading (AR) book, he/ she takes a test to analyze his/ her comprehension of the story. As the books increase in difficulty, so do the points. As students pass 100, 200, 300 etc. point milestones, they earn gifts from the school. The top 10 readers have accumulated the most AR points during the quarter.
Here are the milestones and awards from the second quarter.
To kick off the read-in, the student body played a version of charades. Each classroom acted out a given animal for their teacher to guess.
Leading up to the Read In, there was an activity in the library where the students tried to guess which animal made which tracks. At the Read In, prizes were given to the student with the most correct in K-2 and the student with the most correct in 3-5. The winners received a sweatshirt to keep them warm while reading this winter. Avery Ehlers had the most correct in K-2 and Calvin Riffey won in 3-5.
