Reading Champions!

Yesterday, our principal, Tammy Brown, and I got a chance to visit a fourth grade classroom. With trophy in hand, we celebrated Mrs. Hall's class for having the greatest percentage of kids who achieved their reading goals for the second quarter of school. They will keep the traveling trophy in their room all quarter and will get a banner to hang permanently to remind them of their accomplishment. They worked especially hard this quarter because another class won the trophy for the first quarter of the year and they were determined to work a bit harder this quarter.

Our competition is a fun aspect of our school environment. It is a positive, teamwork-oriented slice of life here at Lely Elementary because everyone has to help everyone in order to achieve our goals. We are having a rollicking good time this year and little things like the reading goals competition lend a little fun to our school year.
