If You Build It...They Will Read...

So those of you that know me well, pretty much know that I love to read. I also try to instill that in my kiddos at school!

Ever since I started teaching, I've always participated in the I Love To Read Challenge hosted by WSBT. I was even once voted the most creative teacher and won a trip to Disney World through this awesome competition.

Our entire school has jumped on board and this has really taken off-school wide. We do our best to come up with a fun theme and then let the reading begin.

Well...this year, we are "Going Bananas For Books" and we're using a rain forest theme. Look at the amazing bulletin board our wonderful parents came up with to keep track of our progress.


For every 10 hours each class reads, they add a banana to their tree. We also have at least one piece of artwork from every child in our school on this wall. Isn't that amazing?
