[CASL-L] Read n Ride

Circling back to the Reading Bike.....my bike has arrived!  I received my
in-district grant and I'm launching the bike tomorrow.  I'm trying to build
excitement today, not yet revealing what we've acquired.  I wrote up rules
for our Read & Ride bike and created a Google Form for students/staff to
sign in on and track their reading mileage  (miles are recorded, not pages).

Thank you to everyone that responded to my original inquiry in September,
most especially Val DiLorenzo (for the stationary bike suggestion) and Kara
Gumke (for the rules suggestions).

Best regards,
Jodie D'Alexander
