Today, we are launching our Book Blast! In our school, we believe that reading is so important, and Book Blast is a fun way to make sure that each of you will take home at least one new book to read. However, you can earn up to 10 books! Your teacher will be showing you a video that tells you about a Treasure Map, how you can earn cool rewards, enter a drawing to win a Treasure Chest stuffed with cash or even an iPad, and how to earn new and exciting books for your home library. So, have fun tonight completing your Book Blast Treasure Map and unlocking your treasure!
