As I'm sure you have heard from your kiddos over the past few weeks, AR is off and running in our classroom. As we discussed at Open House earlier this year, from now until December our class will be working together toward CLASS GOALS in AR. Following our Christmas break, each student will have their own independent goal to be working on. Each student in our class has a special SUPER READER clip on our AR chart. Right now we are trying to achieve 15 GOALS as a class! When our class gets 15 goals we will have a special celebration. The kids don't know what the surprise is....but it will be FUN!!! When they come into the classroom in the morning, once they finish their morning work they are allowed to take any AR tests they are prepared for. My rule is that to take a test on a book they must have read it 3 times. This, of course, does not apply to longer chapter books like Junie B. Jones books...but smaller books like Pete the Cat, etc. should be read a few times to make sure students know them well. Students can't retake quizzes on books that they read in kindergarten...but luckily our classroom library is FULL of awesome books for students to read. Their book tubs are loaded up with awesome books to read during our Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) time. Students know how to log on and take AR tests independently. When a student scores 100 on an AR test, they get to move their clip up to the next spot! When they reach GOAL then we log a goal for the class! We already have 1 goal as a class and have several students super close to hitting the "GOAL" area! We can't wait to reach 15 total and have our first surprise! I'm so proud of our SUPER READERS!
