AR Points

To encourage students to read, we use the Accelerated Reader program. Tests are made on books, usually with five to ten questions. After the student reads the book, they take the AR test and collect points based on their scores. We try to set goals for the students at the beginning of the year. Students that meet their goals get a reward. Twice a year there's a "store" where students can spend their points for goodies. Tomorrow is the last day for students to meet their goals and earn points. We've done so much AR reading! My star pupil this week is a particularly angry little guy whose goal was 42 points. He has 102 points right now. I can't keep books out of his hands. I wish I could do more than provide him with plenty to read, but I think for now that might just be enough.

We finished the breastfeeding class last night. Its amazing that humans actually have to take a class on something that mammals just do. We'll have to see how easy or hard it is for Grant and I. We will make it work!

Tomorrow is the last SOL test. Yippee!

Today I learned that Henry LOVES cottage cheese. Loves it!
