Forty Book Genre Challenge
FORTY BOOK GENRE CHALLENGE
It's on!
You have from now through most of May 2025 to do your reading!
There is an ORANGE 3-ring binder in the library for you to record each of the books you read, for keeping a record on your personal page.
This will work best if you enter each book on your record page ASAP (as soon as possible!) after you finish reading it!
The DEADLINE for completing the challenge is Tuesday, May 20th at NOON (12:00pm/midday)!
Invitations to our celebration on Friday, May 23rd will be emailed to your school email by 4pm on Wednesday the 21st of May.
FORM FOR YOU TO KEEP YOUR RECORD OF THE BOOKS YOU READ FOR THE FORTY BOOK CHALLENGE!
Blank forms are in the front of the ORANGE BINDER. After you start a form for yourself, find the tab with the first letter of your last name, file your form with at least your name on it behind that tab, in alphabetical order by last name. The next time you're ready to add a book, it will be easy to find your form!
