WQLN Reading Competition

From September 1st through November 30th, our local PBS station (WQLN) has a reading competition for the schools.  I first mentioned this program in August in my post - Reading website s

For this competition students track of all of the books read in school and at home for the three months!  This year, Ms. Sally, the students, and I kept track of the books read in library and STEAM as well book logs brought in from home. 

Here are the outcomes and pictures of the official awards ceremony.  I am looking to keep the traveling trophy next year.

As a school, Wattsburg Elementary School read 8,631 books.  Mrs. Woodfield was the top class with over 1400 books. The top reader was 3rd grader SOPHIE WILLIAMS who read 745 books in three months!  Her parents provided permission to use the pictures and post them on my blog.

The WQLN accomplishments were celebrated at the school board meeting as well as a school wide assembly.  As a school, Wattsburg Elementary gets an amazing traveling trophy.  The library received $250 for books.  Sophie got a Kindle Fire, a bag of books, and an awesome trophy!  All the students in Mrs. Woodfield's class got a reading certificate!

Check out these pictures (thanks to Ms. Williams and Ms. Sally for the pictures!)
