Reading Challenge Champions

We couldn't be more proud of our incredible readers. Our class earned an award as the "Daily Reading Champions" at Mason Heights on Monday. Our third graders read more minutes than other class!

On Tuesday, we celebrated the 100th day of school with 100 minutes of reading in the afternoon! It is so rewarding to see our readers fully engaged and enjoying books so much.

Mason Heights is very motivated to read right now for the Mason Schools Foundation Reading Challenge. If the school reads more than 200,000 minutes this week, the principals and teachers will compete in a tricycle obstacle course during a fun school assembly!!!

Comet Cash Rewards

Our third graders shine and the Comet Cash that has been earned is being used for really cool rewards, like pet show and tell! We've had two more pets come to visit our class. It has been so much fun meeting the furry friends that our third graders love so much. We also had a fun popcorn/movie party at lunch today!! Keep up the awesome work, third graders!!!

Critter Guy Visit

The Critter Guy came today and we had a blast checking out his critters!

Pet Visit

A reward that our third graders are so excited about earning with Comet Cash is the Pet Show & Tell!! Today, one of our third graders brought her very own furry friend to school. The class LOVED having Oakly visit at the end of the day and we look forward to meeting other pets that are special to our third graders!!

Comet Cash

Our amazing third graders demonstrate excellent behavior every day! The children earn Comet Cash as a reward for making good choices, treating others with kindness, being good listeners, following directions, and/or demonstrating exemplary behavior. The Comet Cash is used to purchase rewards and prizes at our classroom store bi-weekly. A few of our third graders already purchased and enjoyed a pizza party!
