Ahoy, Matey! Captain Book here. Mr. Sigler let me take the helm for a minute to tell ye about me contest.

If ye be lookin’ fer treasure, ye need look no further than a good book. I’ve sailed many an adventure readin’ a good book. I love to read aloud to others, and I love to be read to. But nothin’ shivers me timbers more ‘n divin’ into a good book all to meself.

Ye can count any minutes you read outside of Mr. Sigler’s class, but ye have to scrawl them down on paper. Ye have to have the paper signed by the captain o’ the house to make sure no dishonorable scallywags try sneakn’ their way to the treasure.

What is the treasure for the winner, ye ask? Why, no grub in the galley for you, matey. Ye’ll get to sail your ship with all your mates down to Randy’s Drive-in or Gambinos Pizza for lunch. For the Top Reader in the crew, he or she will sail the foredeck on a special float in the homecoming parade.

We land in 2 weeks, so ye’d best get started readin’ right away. Don’t forget to turn them in to Mr. Sigler.

Good luck, Matey,

Captain Book

This weeks spelling words are Week 7.
