Guest Reader Race Night

 The boys's school had "Guest Reader Night" on Friday.  This time, they had "Amazing Race" stations set up around the school where the kids had to do an activity (a puzzle, a fill-in-the-blank reading, mazes, etc.) and get a stamp on their "passports." If they completed the passports, which I think basically everyone did, they could get a prize. (It was a big hit -- the mom who was organizing it said they didn't expect so many people to come!)

This year they did all the readings in the auditorium instead of different classrooms.  Matthew didn't go to any of the readings (although he did find a Minecraft book at the book fair), but James and his friend Jake went to Mrs. Weber's reading.  (She is the school librarian and a huge favorite with the kids.)

Guest Reader Night is the closing event for the two weeks of PARP (pick a reading partner), which also includes competitions for how many minutes each class reads at home.  James's class won the second grade reading-minutes competition the second week!  He was very excited.  (Alas, his class did not get drawn out of the hat for the prize -- having one kid from the class be Principal or PE teacher for the day.)
