In our quest to become outstanding readers, writers, and thinkers, we challenged ourselves to each read at least 40 books this year, about a book a week.  As with any big goal, it is helpful to break it up into small pieces.  Right before Christmas break, we paused to celebrate that everyone in our class had passed 10 books so far.

We had a Cricket in Times Square friendship party, with Chinese food, chopsticks, and orange soda, just like the friends in the book.  We followed with a craft time together.

Our class is full of amazing readers!
