Reading Challenge winners spring into creativity

Reading Challenge winners spring into creativity

The 5th Six Weeks Reading Challenge winners at Tabasco Elementary got to explore a bit of springtime creativity after earning their golden tickets.

Depending on their grade level, the students got to work on a birdhouse, and Easter egg design, or even a painted bunny rabbit coin bank.

To earn this prize in the Spring Reading Challenge, students in 2nd through 5th had to be the top 3 readers with the most nonfiction books per classroom, with an 85 percent or higher. In 1st grade, it was the top 3 readers per class with an 85 percent or higher in any book type. In pre-K or Kinder, it was the top 3 MyOn users per classroom.

Students got to create, design, paint, and also keep their creations. For reading challenge incentives, librarian A. Flores regularly works to help give students educational or creativity-based activities or rewards, so that it creates a logical extension from the act of literacy to hands-on creativity.

Congratulations to all students who earned a place to celebrate in the reading challenge!
