New AR Goals Set!

This trimester, AR will be done little bit differently.  Students decided on teams of 3 students.  They were then given a team goal, based on their individual Lexile Levels.   Students worked collaboratively to decide how many points each student on their team had to earn.  In order for the team to earn a prize, every person on the team must meet their goal! Even if a team beats its team goal, if one member didn't do their part then they do not earn a prize.  This helps to encourage students to cheer each other on and work together.  For this challenge, students can read books together and then take the quiz together as well if they would like.  Students can also help each other find good fit books or pass books that they recommend along to their teammates.  We will try to find some time each week for groups to get together and work on reaching their AR goals.  Happy reading and good luck to all of the teams as they work together!
