Reading Challenge Check-in

This week has been a great one for reading.  We had our school book fair, our local librarian came to visit, and the local library had a Read-a-thon.  It seemed like a good time to check in and see how many books the students have read.  I know students have been reading because they keep adding favorite books to our classroom book wall, but I was flabbergasted when students actually tallied up the number of books they have read since the beginning of school.  When I totaled all the books up, I got 896 books!

This class loves its books.  Here are some photos of a typical silent reading time.
