BOOK IT: We had 13 of 24 Book-It calendars from October come back! Thank you! Everyone has their November calendars!!! I spoke with Jeff at Pizza Hut last week. He asked me to remind you that you don't have to make any other purchase. Just take your child to Pizza Hut as a reward for reading or being read to and get their little pizza! I can tell you this group loves to be read to and they are loving reading! I have had some 3rd graders earn time to come and read to children in this class and I've had our students read to them! They love it!!!
