The Week: 3/3 - 3/7

Reading Challenge!

Due to an unfortunate miscommunication, we have entered into a very high-stakes challenge with Mrs. Falbo and Mrs. Creasey.  They really want our classroom.  It is bigger, it has a great view, and it has an awesome stereo (though the same is not said of the music played there).  If one of them wins the reading log challenge, they get our classroom for a week.  If we win, we get to keep our classroom, and they will give us something of equal value.  (I'm negotiating for a deep clean and putting whipped cream in their faces at the next assembly.)

What you need to know:  The winning classes have turned in over 40 reading logs!  That means that to win, we need to plan on turning in two reading logs each!  That's a lot of reading.  Start tonight!

I don't like to lose.  You know that, right?  Therefore, I am implementing the following conditions to help us along.

If we win, I will treat my class to an ice cream party.  Your participation is as follows.

• Showing up to class = one small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Turning in a partially filled reading log = one scoop of your choice.
• Half a completed reading log = two scoops of your choice.
• One completed reading log = two scoops of your choice and one topping.
• Each additional reading log you complete = one more topping.
• The person with the most reading logs gets to sit at my desk and eat it and I will clean up afterwards.  (Please be nice with my stuff!)

If we lose, I understand that some of you worked hard to help out.  For the week that we're in the winner's classroom:

• The person with the most reading logs gets to sit in the teacher's desk for the week.
• Desk choices will be given in order of completed reading logs turned in.
• Half a completed reading log = chairs for half the day.  (The other half of the day, the chair is stacked.  You choose which half.)
• A partially completed reading log (even one signature) = a desk with no chair.  (That's a whole week!  Think about it before you give up!)
• No reading log = no desk and no chair.  Plus you get to spend recess helping me clean their room.
