READING THROUGH THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Guy Berry students are reading their way through the solar system. Our Accelerated Reading program has the students excited about reading and earning points on the books that they read. There is a mural of the solar system on one of the walls in the cafeteria. Each student is given a spaceship with his/her name on it. All students begin his/her spaceship on the sun. Then, as they read books and test over those books, they earn points and get to move their spaceships. Each planet is assigned a certain number of points with a prize that goes along with each planet. The planets, along with the points and prizes, are listed below.

Each planet is assigned a certain number of points with a prize that goes along with each planet. The planets, along with the points and prizes, are listed below.

Mercury - 20 Points	Pack for a quick, short trip! Grab a bag and blast off.
Venus - 40 Points	You need to test the weather at such a high altitude. Use kites or gliders to gather your information. Students will receive a kite or glider.
Earth - 60 Points	You had better have good reading material for your journey into space. Students receive a free book.
Mars - 80 Points	You probably need to to try and blend in with the red planet. Students will receive a red tee shirt with he slogan, "Mission to Mars"
Jupiter - 100 points	Being in space causes one's muscles to atrophy, or become weak. Sports equipment is needed for exercise to stay strong. Students receive sports equipment: basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, bouncy balls, jump ropes, etc.
Saturn - 125 Points	To explore the colorful rings of Saturn, space travelers need special colorful lights. Students receive disco ball lights.
Uranus - 150 Points	This is quite a journey for our space travelers. Better pack heavy. Grab a big bag and be on your way. Students receive a big grab-bag.
Neptune - 200 Points	Extra training is needed for such a long journey into space. You must learn more about space travel by watching a space video at the Imax Theater in Branson, Missouri
Pluto - 250 Points	You might need extra supplies for such a long trip. You'd better do some shopping. Students receive a $10.00 gift certificate from Wal-Mart.
Beyond the Stars - 300 Points	A faster mode of transportation is needed to explore the deep, dark territories of space. Students receive a skateboard.
