April reading challenge results!

I forgot to write a blog post about the April reading challenge results!  If you haven't heard the news yet, Upham Students DID it (again!).

Over break, students read for 47,960 minutes!  They surpassed our goal by almost 3000 minutes-- this was after I upped the minutes when they blew away the February reading goal!

Students have all earned storybook character day!  It will be this Friday, May 18.  Students may dress up like a character from a children's book.  I'm asking students to recycle/borrow/reuse/create costume pieces instead of purchasing costumes.

I also want to recognize our classroom with the highest participation.  By far, the highest participation was 4G with 100% of students turning in logs, again!  They earned extra recess time.  Coming in second was 5D at 85%.  Great job to 4G and 5D!

I also want to point out the classes with the most number of minutes read:
#1- 4O (again)
#2- 2C
#3- 3GH

And finally, I want to recognize our top readers in the challenge:
#1- (again!) Kayla from 4O-- 3017 minutes
#2- Karishma from 4O-- 3017 minutes
#3- Riley from 2C-- 2526
#4- Ellery from 4O-- 1790 minutes
#5 (a tie!):
Lila W. from 3GH-- 1190 minutes and Lily H. from 4O with 1190 minutes

Great job to everyone who read over break and turned in a log!
