Congratulations! Chase Bangert! He won the iPad in the book blast challenge!!!! 7th grade was in the lead early in the day but I believe they were surpassed by an elementary class to be announced tomorrow. Our percentage of participation day one was twice what it was last year and by day two we nearly surpassed our entire goal. This community has amazing support for building readers.
Tomorrow we give away a treasure chest! Keep reading! Tonight we read Pip Loves to Cook and Peppa Pig's Valentines Day Party. Comment below with your bedtime story.
