Reading Club (and other fun things!)

Okay...I admit it: I have fallen behind in our Reading Club.

I've fallen behind in moving stars. I've fallen behind in tallying up totals. I've even fallen behind in celebrating with students. This is a shameful, terrible thing! 


However, thanks to mother nature completely dumping all of her winter snow on us last night, I've had a chance to catch up! Come Monday, your child will see his/her name on a new star in a new place in our classroom. Your child will also be greeted with a merry celebration of all of our reading this year. Horray!


By the end of the year, our 2nd grade goal is to have read at least 200 books at home. I am so excited because many students have already met that goal- and it's only February! Let's celebrate some of those students! (Why wait until Monday?!) :-)




CONGRATULATIONS goes out to these students:
