Kaelyn's first grade class did a Beary Good Reader program this year (They kept track of the books they read during the year.) Kaelyn did a great job, she LOVES reading! The goal for each student was to read 200 books by the end of the year. Most of the students did a fantastic job and hit the goal. In the entire 1st grade, only 2 students read over 500 books. Can you guess who one of them was ... that's right, our little Sweetheart. Sweetheart read 540 books!! We were so proud of her. She got a trophy with her name on it for her amazing accomplishment. She also got a shirt that he rocked yesterday! She was styling!! She really is a Beary Good Reader!! She got really shy when she accepted her award so I didn't get a picture of her, but we were definitely 2 of the proudest parents you could have ever seen sitting there in the front row admiring our little Beauty while she accepted her awards!
The other little guy that read over 500 books was one of Kaelyn's classmates. The two of them competed all year long to beat each other. The competition is what drove them to read so many books. Gotta love friendly competition:-) Kaelyn would come home and say .. Jason read 20 books, I have to read 20 books today. And then she would get to work. She was very determined.
Congratulations Smelly Bee, we are so proud of you!!! Readers are Leaders!!!
