7th Grade Reading Students Celebrate Success

Stars & Stripes enjoy an hour of gaming.

7th Grade reading students that made their AR Goals for the first term were awarded with a double period of gaming, snacks, and hanging out with friends.   Students were required to earn their AR Goal in their reading class and had to have 85% reading comprehension on AR Reading tests.  Students that met both their AR Goal and averaged above 85% reported to the stage for an hour and a half of fun.  Students that did not make their goal were required to read their AR books for the time slot.  

Games included the popular Dance-Dance Revolution, Wii Sports,  Guitar Hero, and Nintendo games:  Wrestling, and Mario World.   While students waited to play, they munched on snacks, played card games, and chatted with friends.   Everyone seemed to enjoy the reward.
