LIVE CHAT! Year-End Reading Wrap-Up
It's finally mid-May, and you know what that means! Well, yeah, it means a nice holiday for Memorial Day coming up. But think bigger . . . That's right, it's almost summer! AND it's time for our next STACKS chat:
WHEN: Tuesday, May 26, 6-7 p.m. (ET) / 3-4 p.m. (PT)
TOPIC: Year-End Reading-Wrap Up — what did you read this school year and what will you read this summer?
Can you believe there have been about 160 school days since Labor Day? That's a whole lot of "independent reading time" — 80 hours if you did 30 minutes every day! But you can't fool us — we know you love books as much as we do. (Uh, have you even seen how much you guys post on our book boards?) So join us for a live chat to talk with other kids about your favorite books from this school year and what you plan to read this summer.
And in the meantime, count down the days to that glorious season of swimsuits, sleepaway camps, and sunblock in our Summer Challenge competition. Join a team, score points by reading, and help Scholastic donate to kids in need. Plus if you're on the winning team, you get to brag like nobody's business. So check it out — just don't have so much fun that you forget about our chat!
See you on May 26th!
— Your Friendly STACKS Staffers :-)
UPDATE: 5/26 — Thanks for joining the chat! A transcript will be posted soon.
UPDATE: 5/28 — Transcript is now available for your reading enjoyment.
