1999-2000 Alphabet
Sticker Contest© Rules
With the
accumulation of 10 points, one (1) letter of the alphabet will be awarded. A
student who does all of his/her weekly assignment should have no trouble
receiving at least one letter per week. If I cancel a lesson, I award the same
number of points that a student usually gets for a lesson (this year, that is
11). If the student cancels the lesson, no points are awarded.
Please note
that students can collect more points if the parents will take a more active
role in the learning process. Students always learn better and faster when
parents become involved.
The first
student to earn ALL twenty-six letters of the Alphabet will win $25 in cash.
Each student to complete the Alphabet (26 letters) will win $10 in cash.
Please save this point list.
