It includes a message from the Book Buddies and pictures that families sent in! Please share with your students [and children]! Continue to encourage them to participate in the reading challenge, and do not forget to fill in your list too! Thank you! Ms. Holly" Thank you to the Book Buddies WORM Lab staff (Ms. Holly, Middle School Humanities Assistant Teacher Rachel Goldberg, and Paraprofessional Josefina "Nuna" Aquina) for keeping us all motivated to read and win our literacy challenge!
Watch this video from our Middle School's Book Buddies WORM Lab students, about an upcoming, school-wide literacy event!
Middle School Humanities Teacher Ana Holly created the video above, and she co-leads the Book Buddies WORM Lab. The Book Buddies WORM Lab, inspired by the Cooke Academy's preceding reading challenge, came up with a CGS event to get our students to read more, towards a tasty prize. Ms. Holly summarizes the event and highlights important info about it, in her words below: "Attention CGS, The CGS Reading Challenge begins this Monday May 13th and ends on Friday May 24th. On Monday, students will receive a reading log. Every night students can check off their reading (any amount counts). Students can return their logs on May 24th. If CGS reads 1,000 times we will have a Pizza Party! We cannot wait to read with you! From, The CGS Book Buddies WORM Lab" We thank them for envisioning and promoting this educational event!
