Jazz Read-a-thon
Phew… we survived another Jazz Read-a-thon. We printed a calendar for recording minutes read. We went to the library and gathered favorite series. And the kids read up a storm. Abe’s class read the most minutes in the 3rd Grade. Hannah’s class read the most minutes of all the 4th grade classes. Both kids did excellent.
I was so proud of Abe for reading so much. He’s not the biggest fan of reading, but he worked so hard. He got 1st in his class one week. He was thrilled!
Hannah loves to read and I think could read all day if we let her. She got to have Pizza with the Principal (a dream come true!) for getting top in her grade one week.
During the Jazz Read-a-thon Assembly… where the Jazz Player comes to read to them (and slam dunk it!), Hannah had the [opportunity?] to put a pie in the principals face? Here’s the footage KSL caught.
I’m not sure what joy comes of throwing a pie in the Principals’ face… but the school teachers must have talked it up to the kiddos.
I’m grateful for the blessing to have so many good books available for us to read.
Wow kids! Good job reading so much. Uncle Roger is surely so proud of you, and I am, too. Hannah made it on KSL news! So cool. Fun that it was a Jazz-a-thon with a Jazz player and kids wearing Jazz jerseys.
