Royal Readers

The children were so excited to find out who would be crowned our first Raz Reading King and Queen.  I had been tracking our reading minutes on Raz Kids all Christmas vacation, anticipating the first Friday crowning.  WOW!  The students really worked hard!  As a class, we read 4,071minutes!  Amazing!!!!  However, there was only one king and queen for the first week.  Our queen read over  3 hours during the break and our king read an incredible 5 hours and 38 minutes. Drum roll please......

 

Our first crowning really inspired some more reading!  Our royal readers get a crown and a reading scepter.  They get to lead our line everywhere we go and they make a special visit to the principal's office.   Our next crowning would come the very next Friday.  This time the students had only one week to add up their Raz minutes.  I was so pleased to see the great effort!  This time, our king read over 2 hours in a week and our queen read a whooping 4 hours and 24 minutes!

While our royals are very special, there was also other great reading achievements to recognize.  There were 7 children that read over 2 hours this week, that is more than 20 minutes every night.  For being so bright, these 7 students got a glow bracelet.

Congratulations readers!  Our next crowning will be Friday, January 23.  Read, read, read!
