They did it again!

Upham students did it!  Prior to the February break, students were challenged to read 42,840* minutes over break.  After tallying up all of those reading logs, we found that students had read for a total of 52,479 minutes over break!

First, I want to recognize our class with the highest participation percentage-- 4G!  100% of students turned in their reading logs in 4G!  They have earned extra recess time.  Coming in second was 5E with 85% turning in reading logs.

I also want to recognize our top readers-- first, by class:

#1 was 4O with 8389 minutes!!! (4O has also earned extra recess time!)

#2 was 4G with 6464 minutes

#3 was 3GH with 5947 minutes

(this is the same top three from the winter reading challenge!)

And our top readers by student:

#1 Kayla from 4O with 2219 minutes!

#2 Lily from 4O with 2045 minutes

#3 Sofia N. from 1H with 1840 minutes

#4 Allie from 3GH with 1299 minutes

For hitting their goal, Upham students have earned a school-wide Freaky Friday on Friday, March 16th.  Freaky Friday is similar to last year's "Wacky Wednesday" (mismatched/inside-out/backwards clothing, crazy hair, etc.).

Great job to students (and parents who helped keep track of those logs!) -- as always, I was so impressed with their reading.

*if you're wondering how I calculate the minute challenge, I ask each of the 238 students to read 20 minutes a day over 9 days of break
