Kicking Off Summer Reading

Summer is here!  I'm really excited to start reading all the time.  There are so many excellent books out there I can't wait to get started.

I've challenged my rising 4th and 5th graders to read more pages than I do this summer.  It's a formalized competition called the Library King Challenge.  The winner will be crowned King of the Library and reign for a year.  Last year's King was a 4th grader who read 5456 pages in 22 books!!!  He's already warned me that he's working to beat that record. There are several other students who are contenders and are also up for the challenge.  Yay readers!!

The Seattle Public Library launched their summer reading program by setting a new record for the longest book domino chain.  AWESOME!
