Scandia Field Trip
Hello everyone.
One of the many great things about RCMS is that the top 100 AR readers
get to go to Scandia! But in order to get on the list, you have to read
a LOT, maintain your place on the list (so that you won’t get knocked
off), and you may have to knock other people off the list to keep
yourself on it. Usually your language arts teacher will tell you the
minimum number of AR points that you will have to pass, or your teacher
will print out a list every week to update who has recently been added
on the list. If you are towards the end of the list, for example #90 -
#100, then you should keep on reading because there is a huge chance
that you may get bumped down. I have learned from experience because
last year, I was #93 on the list and I thought I was safe to not get
knocked off, but when my teacher printed out the final list, I ended up
being #102 and I didn’t get to go on the field trip, even though the
readers who passed me were only 0.2 points ahead. So, if you happen to
be anywhere on the top 100 list, you should still keep reading to get
yourself HIGHER on the list. The more you are closer to the top, the
less chance that you will be knocked off. If you happen to make it on the field trip, some information you will need to know is that the trip is free, however, you'll have to pay for your own food. The field trip will be on Monday, May 20th. {;
