My class accepted the challenge of reading 100 books in one hour last Thursday on Day 100. At 10:00 we started reading books to both Mrs. Kiernan and me. We were quickly joined by Bronwyn's, Cate's, and Wiley's mothers. Soon Dr. Bianco, Mrs. Weinman and Mrs. Smay arrived to help us meet the 100 book challenge. Readers were zooming all over the classroom reading to the different adults. As each book was read, it was collected and added to the finished pile. By 11:00 all the read books were stacked up and then counted into pile of ten books each.
The class then counted the piles by tens until we reached the grand total of 170 books read! With much cheering, we celebrated our exciting accomplishment. This meant that each child read about 9 to 10 books each during the hour. We had a lot of fun and each child was proud to be able to show off their terrific reading skills.
Great Job, Class!
