[CASL-L] Principal's reading challenge suggestions/Nutmegs

[Musket, Kimberly]

Hello-
Two things:
1. My principal said he would like to do a reading challenge for our
students and staff (Yay!).

Has anyone done this with their students? We are a middle school. He wanted
to come up with something somewhat out of the ordinary. Does anyone have
any suggestions for challenges that can incorporate all students and staff
members and will be able to involve all students?

We talked about having a reading log of some sort (I don't really agree
with this). We thought maybe a calendar sheet where they just write in an
amount of time they read each day or check off an amount of time. We were
thinking to go by time instead of a number of books so it can allow all
students to participate even if they are not quick readers.

2. Every year, I try to read all of the Nutmeg Nominees for intermediate
and middle school. I'm on the last book of those 20. I must say that these
two lists might be my favorites over the years. I've really enjoyed all of
the books. I just finished "Planet Earth is Blue" and I loved it! I also
needed many tissues. I just wanted to share that and say thank you to the
committees.

Thank you!
Kim
