Ice Cream

SocialSummer Extended Day

Reading-A-Thon

PurposeCourtesy of the BPS Library System, we have been

lent a number of picture book, trade books, and

non-fiction texts that are tailored to work with the

Summer Themes in order to:

Create a rich reading experience in a laid

back atmosphere

Emphasize skills and concepts across the

curriculum

Construct meaning of topics and subject

matter

Encourage discussion and use of critical

thinking skills in a variety of content areas

Enrich the opportunity for making meaning

to curriculum content across the curriculum

Challenge For each book read and returned, your group will be

given a “scoop” of ice cream to add to the Ice Cream

Social Read-A-Thon.

In order to get a scoop of ice cream, a student

(preferably a different student each time), completes

a reflection/response which reflects something they

learned, liked, or connected to during the story.

The group with the “tallest” ice cream cone will

receive a special treat.

Rewards will begin on a bi-weekly basis.
