Six Flags Reading Logs:
Before Thanksgiving break all the kindergarten students received an information letter and a book log
about our Six Flags Read to Succeed program! This is a fantastic program to help motivate children to read and listen to books and earn a reward in the process! Students that read (or listen) to stories for a minimum of 6 hours and record their book titles on the log will earn a free ticket to 6 Flags over Texas! The kids love getting their free ticket at the end of each school year! You can record ANY books that your child reads (book bag books), books that you read to them, or books that they read and listen to on Razz Kids!
Book Logs are due back in February but feel free to return as soon as you complete!
