Forty Book Challenge
These awesome scholars have “finished” the Forty Book Challenge, reading at least forty chapter books so far this year. Congratulations, mighty readers! Oh, what amazing places we travel in our minds as we read!
Luke finished in February!
Emmaus and Hudson finished in March! (P.S. Miss Blessing finished in March too.)
