RAKY Derby contest

Ok, it's time for our last reading competition of the year.  In honor of our Derby tradition, we will be doing a partner competition.  One partner is the jockey and the other the horse.  One partner has completed a lot more reflections than the other and it is their job to guide their horse to victory.  This competition will go until June 5th.  That is the last day to complete reflections for Read Across Kentucky.  Some kiddos have a lot of work ahead of them, but I know they can do it if they set a goal and stick to it.  For example, try setting a goal to complete 3 reflections in a week for some of the smaller books, while reading their chapter book. 

Below is the format the we will use and the teams for the competition.  Students will be meeting with each other during morning work time and independent time every day.  The number in parenthesis is what I have your child completing as of now.  If you think there is a mistake, please contact me.  I did get some reflections in last week that I did not score yet because I wanted to save them for this competition.  We will try to update this chart as we go through the competition.
