Read-a-Thon for Hurricane Sandy

Our schoolwide Read-a-Thon to raise money for Hurricane Sandy relief was a huge success! Altogether, we raised nearly $23,000 for three New York charities: the Red Hook Initiative, the Rockaway Waterfront Alliance, and New York Says Thank You.









As a class, we enjoyed reading for 90 minutes straight while wearing our pajamas. We also had brunch while we read. Thanks to all of our families for sending in bagels, cream cheese and butter, and all kinds of fruit!

200 Book Challenge!

We officially kicked off our 200 book challenge yesterday! As a class, we set a goal of reading 200 books. Each book we read will be logged in the front of our reading log. Once we hit 200 books, we'll celebrate with a Reading Marathon! We'll wear our pajamas to school, eat breakfast in the classroom and enjoy 90 minutes straight of reading! We can't wait!


Each Friday we'll count the books we've read and watch as we get closer to our goal.
