ELA CHALLENGE TASK THREE
Did you know there are 1,440 minutes in a SINGLE day?!
So, let’s do a little math here…
The recommended hours of sleep a night for a teenager are 9 hours, which is 540 minutes a day.
1,440 minutes – 540 minutes= 900 minutes
That means you are awake on average 900 minutes a day!!
Your challenge this week is to sacrifice at least 30 of your 900 spare minutes a day to READING!
Below you will find a reading chart you will fill out for each of the next 5 days.
Make a copy and submit to me by Tuesday!
