Reading Party

This afternoon, me & Mrs. Smith (our wonderful librarian) hosted an AR party for those students who met their Accelerated Reader goal for the semester (basically when students finish a book they can log on and take a comprehension quiz, each one worth a certain number of points depending on the book's level, and if they meet whatever the goal is for their grade level then they get to celebrate at the end of the term with a pizza party.) 

I was so excited because all three 4th graders that I've been working hard with this half of the year met their goals!! Jericho & Samantha both got the final points they needed yesterday, and their faces were priceless when they found out they made it. They were SO happy and so proud of themselves... and so was I!! We jumped around and celebrated and I felt like throwing a parade. These kids have never met their AR goal before and have just worked so hard with me this semester that they so deserved to celebrate ...and to feel proud of themselves!

Since they usually get to go to Pizza Hut but there wasn't enough time left in this last week of school, Mrs. Smith made it special with pizza, hot cheetos (these spicy kind of cheetos that everyone's obsessed with here), and root beer floats. I put on some music and we even turned it into a dance party (of course, haha)... it was so much fun! So proud of my 4th graders!!

Blurry but it's Colton and Jericho being reading champs :)

Last day of school tomorrow!! Unreal!
