Reading Contest RECAP of 2024

📚 Today is the last day of our Elementary Reading Contest! For the past month, we have dedicated ourselves to developing daily reading habits and fostering a love for books. We thank God for the incredible gift of being able to read, think, and learn. Let’s keep the reading momentum going! 📖✨

📚 Hoje é o último dia do nosso Concurso de Leitura para o Ensino Fundamental! Durante o último mês, nos dedicamos a desenvolver o hábito diário de ler e cultivar o amor pelos livros. Agradecemos a Deus pelo incrível presente de poder ler, pensar e aprender. Vamos continuar com esse impulso de leitura! 📖✨

Each year PACA Elementary students look forward to our Annual Elementary Reading Contest! The theme for this year’s Reading Contest is “Lasso a Book & Read."

​We will be kicking off our Reading Contest on Friday, September 30. Students will participate in activities, art projects, music, games, and stories about space. It will be a wonderful time of learning and fun for Elementary students. 

During the Reading Contest, we are asking students to read every day to establish the habit of reading for pleasure and to strengthen their reading skills.  

The reading time expectation is:
15 minutes - Kindergarten (may be read to) and 1st grade
20 minutes - 2nd and 3rd grade
25 minutes - 4th and 5th grade

Your child may read in English and/or Portuguese. Reading homework or book reports can be counted toward the time expectation. Students need to read 5 days in a week (which allows two “free” days a week if needed).
 
There will be additional activities and special events that will take place throughout the month of October. Please see the Reading Contest Calendar for more information. 
 
We hope that this is the beginning of a lifelong love of reading for your child, and your child is excited to “Lasso a Book & Read."

If you have any questions about the Reading Contest, please contact me [email protected]
 
Sincerely,
Brenda Stockment
Elementary Principal
