Wow! I can't believe the year has come to an end. I have seen so much growth in each student's reading and writing ability. It has been a pleasure to be a part of that growth. Our fifth grade students read 158,318 pages during Status of the Class this year, and that doesn't include all the reading that they did independently over the course of the year. That is awesome, and it will pay dividends in the future! The following students completed the 40 Book Challenge. Congratulations to Gwen Steidle, Amelia Yochheim, and Maren Thorn (completed the 40 Book Challenge twice!) Have a wonderful summer...and don't forget to read!
