Here's some AR info from Ms. Vida (look for the complete article in the Bent County Democrat coming soon) Here are some pics of this year's decorations (Welcome to the Jungle) and some of past years.......
For the past 20 years Las Animas Elementary School’s hallway has been a passage into the life of independent reading for students, inspiring them to read as they journey through different worlds. The students of LAES are immersed in the creativity, art, and hard work of our teachers and staff who design, create, and decorate sections of the main hall. This is our school’s tracker for students’ progress toward their individualized goal reached by independently reading, then earning points after accurately passing a comprehension quiz on Accelerated Reader.
Accelerated Reader (AR) is the program used to manage student data and measure the accuracy of the AR tests they’ve taken.
Here are the stats from last year:
Last year there were 30,466 checked-out books, so in the 20 years the AR Hallway has supported approximately 609,320 check-outs.
225 students per year reading an average of 30 minutes a night for 145 school days is 978,750 minutes read..that’s almost a million minutes of reading!
Finally, the total number of life lessons, memorable characters, historical tales, informative articles, or living the imaginary life of inspirational heroes is immeasurable.
