One of my favorite times of year....the Read-A-Thon! This year was bigger than ever. All Eagle Cliffs students participated, kindergarten to 5th grade. Our readers are out of this world!
As defending champions, we were NOT going to let that trophy slip away. The Magic of Threes worked so hard. What an amazing team of incredible readers! The students were so motivated. We were encouraged to read with mini trophies, space junk treats, dress up days, and more!
At the end of the read-a-thon, our third grade class read over 20,000 minutes in ten days! Five students read over a thousand minutes! And.....EVERY.SINGLE.STUDENT...read the goal of 300 minutes or more. Hard to beat 100% participation! Best of all, I see true improvement in the students' reading. The extra work has propelled them even further with meeting academic goals. I was so proud! The school had great participation and our students were shining stars! And.... drum roll, please.... the trophy returns! Not only did our third grade have 100% of the students read 300 minutes, the ENTIRE third grade class made the goal of 300 minutes in 10 days. We will have a pizza party soon to celebrate our read-a-thon victory! Thanks again for your focus, commitment, and support of our reading!
