Ms. Amorose's Class

Birthdays are special occasions, and we enjoy celebrating them at school. Please know that you are welcome to send treats to the classroom on your child's birthday, either edible or material kind. However, it is not necessary to send treats, and whether or not treats are present, we will be sure to take a few moments to honor your special birthday child.

Extra Curricular

BOOK-IT! READING PROGRAM

Dear Parents:

You're invited!

Please join in the fun of making your child a better reader and successful student. Our class is participating in the BOOK IT! Reading Incentive Program this year as part of the reading we do inside and outside the classroom. Sponsored by Pizza Hut, the program motivates reading through pizza, praise and recognition.

This is how it works:

I will set monthly reading goals for your child beginning in October.

When the monthly reading goal is met, I will present your child with a pizza award certificate good for a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza from participating Pizza Hut locations. There is no purchase required and the pizza can be taken to go.

In addition to the pizza, your child will receive a fun, new BOOK IT! card with a backpack clip and a sticker for the card on the first visit. On each subsequent BOOK IT! visit, your child will receive another pizza and an additional sticker for his or her BOOK IT! card.

If your child meets the reading goals all six months of the program, he or she will become a BOOK IT! All-Star Readers and will be awarded an All-Start Reader medallion at Pizza Hut.

I am inviting you to help your child meet his or her reading goals each month by reading aloud together at least 20 minutes a day. If you are interested in finding tips for reading at home with your child, or additional information on the BOOK IT! Program, please visit www.bookitprogram.com or call 1-800-426-6548.

Sincerely,

Ms. Amorose
