War Eagle?? Roll Tide??

We are having so much fun promoting reading by asking the kids to choose a team!  I have students walking past me and whispering, "Roll Tide." They know that I have been promoting the Auburn fans to read.  In fact, I read a book to a first grade class and then gave a point to Auburn.

If you have not heard, we are promoting reading for a short period of time by asking students to choose a team. After reading and completing an AR test successfully, students are able to give a point to a team. It is our hope that we have found another tool to excite students about reading. It's a secret so don't tell the students.

I hope the parents will catch the spirit too. I know Bill, my husband, has been teasing Nancijane about not reading because she is an Auburn fan and he is an Alabama one. I think she is reading more just to show him. 

At OCR, we will do just about anything to get our kids to read!

War Eagle!!!!
