Mrs. Phillips is Stuck on Reading




Now that is what I call stuck on reading! This week Mrs. Phillips was duct taped to the wall in honor of reading. In an effort to make sure that all kids reach their Million Word Campaign this year, she has plans to celebrate each 9 weeks in a way to motivate kids. All students that reached his/her goal this 9 week period were treated to seeing Mrs. Phillips duct taped to the wall for 2 hours. Of course she made good use of her time by reading! We can't wait to see what the reward for reading will be for the 2nd nine weeks!
