AR Zone students sit and read independently while completing a graphic organizer or taking notes on what they are reading and prepare for the AR quizzes. The AR quiz confirms the total number of words read. A total of
450,000 words makes a student a Word Master and 2,000,000 words read is a Royal Reader. There are classroom celebrations throughout the year
as 100,000 word milestones are met.
Have you noticed how much bad language there is in the movies, in videos,
and in music? Back in the olden days, when your parents and teachers were
teenagers, you never heard bad language on TV or on the radio or in the movies.
It was considered offensive. In the other words, hearing a lot of cursing and bad
language upset most people.
Now listen to these ancient words of wisdom:
Speech is the mirror of the soul; as a man speaks , so is he.
In other words, the words we speak are a reflection of who we are. It makes you
think, doesn’t it?
Today, if you hear bad language, think about what the words are really saying
about the person using them. And if you catch yourself using bad language, ask
yourself this: Am I the words I speak?

Remember to keep hydrated, eat a healthy breakfast to help with concentration and performance in the classroom.
