I LOVE doing the Twelve Days of Reading each year!
Normally we have a contest of sorts... we keep track of our reading minutes and the class with the highest total minutes earns a movie, craft, and treat in the Media Center. Other years we've had a party where the top five readers (based on how many minutes they read during the 12 days) get to come to the Media Center and participate in different activities. This year with all the wonderful craziness of opening a new school we've decided to change it up a bit...
Instead of keeping track of how many minutes we read, we will just READ! For FUN! Every opportunity we get during the first 12 school days in December!

So, cozy up with a good book, and READ!
