The 2015 Growlers Reading Program
We are participating in the Kalamazoo Growlers's reading incentive program this spring. All the kiddos have to do is continue reading at home and turn in their reading logs. Everyone qualified for a single already and will work toward the rest of the prizes each week.
Prizes
Single (3 reading logs)-(1) free voucher for a Launch-a-Ball at any 2015 home game! Launch a Ball is a post-game activity where kids throw a ball at targets on the field to win prizes!
Double (3 reading logs) – (1) Free spin voucher for the Growlers Prize Wheel – prizes include broken game-used bats, autographed memorabilia, and much more!
Triple (3 reading logs) – (1) set of Growlers baseball cards!
Home Run (4 reading logs) – (1) ticket to Reading Day at the Ballpark on Sunday, June 14! They are also entered into to win the Growlers VIP Experience that includes a private meet and greet with the team, batting practice, throwing out the 1st pitch, and one inning as the PA announcer during the game! –

We did not have a story this week. We focused on Informational Writings. We started the week picking a famous american to write about and ended the week writing about polar bears. Informative writings can be difficult to organize because their is so much info. We are practicing writing in paragraph form. Students need to remember to indent, start with a topic sentence, good details that support the topic sentence, and finish with a closing sentence.
