Reading Celebration and Assembly

Today was the end of our school wide reading celebration. A number of activities took place during this very special week. All students were invited to make a bookmark and enter the bookmark contest. Every child in our class made a bookmark and they were BEAUTIFUL! When we went to the afternoon assembly, Ms. Stanley (school librarian) announced the winners...our very own Shaunna won for all first graders! Yeah, Shaunna! All week children were encouraged to fill out a reading graph and enter into a drawing to win prizes! Our class read for nearly 2,000 minutes! Wow! While I can't remember the name of the duo who performed at today's assembly, they were very funny using physical comedy to make us laugh! At the end they invited our very own Mr. Lasher to play the part of their evil enemy...you may not recognize him in the blaze orange "tuque" and the bushy, black moustache!
