00:11.205 --> 00:12.863
- [Announcer] The students at Daegu American School

00:12.863 --> 00:15.574
tape the school administrators to the wall.

00:15.574 --> 00:17.557
The principle is no exception.

00:17.557 --> 00:19.067
All students from first to eighth grade

00:19.067 --> 00:21.098
participate in this event.

00:21.098 --> 00:22.053
- Our school has to achieve a goal

00:22.053 --> 00:26.220
of reading a million minutes during a span of six months.

00:27.260 --> 00:28.369
And they did really well,

00:28.369 --> 00:31.616
and a million is a big, big number of minutes

00:31.616 --> 00:32.772
for students to achieve.

00:32.772 --> 00:35.754
So we have to support 'em by hanging around here.

00:35.754 --> 00:37.957
- [Announcer] The students enjoy taping faculty to the wall.

00:37.957 --> 00:39.320
- It was pretty fun,

00:39.320 --> 00:43.487
like watching them go up there after all year, it was fun.

00:44.264 --> 00:45.595
- [Announcer] Daegu American School developed

00:45.595 --> 00:48.690
a unique approach to encourage the students to read.

00:48.690 --> 00:50.516
- I think having a reading celebration

00:50.516 --> 00:52.629
helps get kids motivated to read.

00:52.629 --> 00:55.224
As maybe some of those kids that weren't reading at home

00:55.224 --> 00:57.157
knew that if they were contributing to the minutes

00:57.157 --> 00:59.207
they got to put a piece of tape on our administrator

00:59.207 --> 01:00.374
and secretary.

01:00.625 --> 01:02.656
So they got very, very excited about reading.
