Our class was given a challenge by Coach Johnson to read 300 points worth of books over a 2 week period. Amazingly, our class surpassed that goal and read 518 points in 2 weeks, and everyone contributed to the point earnings with at least 5 points each!!! We now have a total of over 2,300 points-that's tripled our point value since the end of January!
For the next two weeks, we will read for the Conference Championships-our goal is to beat our 518 point top score with at least 519!! If we succeed, we're headed to the Reading Superbowl!!!!
***Joel and Caden were our MVP readers from the last 2 weeks! Both boys were rewarded with the choice to have lunch in the classroom with friends or a DQ gift card. They both chose lunch in the classroom with a friend!
One more week of official reading logs at home in order to continue preparing for our upcoming ISTEP testing the week of April 29. After that, we'll make changes as needed!
