Book-It

6th graders must read 400 minutes at home each month to receive their Pizza Hut Book-It.  Minutes should be recorded on the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" Book-It Calendar.  Students may color or simply put an X on each day they've read 20 minutes or more at home.  Calendars require a parent signature and are due the last school day of each month.
