Trimester #1
Ho’omaika’i to the following students who worked extremely hard at reaching the 9 genre reading goal for Trimester #1: Hayden, Kacelyn, Makana, Dylan, Tyce, Shania, and Emma Rose! Great job!
Many times students tend to choose their “favorite” genre again and again, but a lot haven’t tried another. 11 additional students read a 2+ books in the same genre. 6 of them would have met the genre goal by selecting a book from different genres instead of reading the same one. We are working on book/genre selection in class to help all students become wide readers and read from a variety…Who knows? You may find a new “favorite” genre by trying! As a reminder to all, at the end of last year: 21 out of 24 students met their 9 genre goal and the remaining 3 were completed 8 genres! It can be done! Keep on reading and swim strong! Ho’omau ka’u I’a! Stay tuned for the photo of students who turned GENRE GOLD this trimester! 🙂
P.S. Yippee! Students have collectively read 7.6 million words so far this year!
