Reading Awards Program

Today was the Reading Awards Program at Bailee's school. Her school does a home/school reading program and the goal is to have each student in the school read at least 100 books by the end of the year. Bailee's class had the highest amount of books read out of all the 1st grade! After they go through each class they announce the top students for each grade and the top student for the school. Bailee, her teacher and myself were very pleasantly surprised (or ecstatic!) when they announced Bailee's name as the top student for the 1st grade! She read a total of 846 books this year! (that includes chapter books...each chapter counts as a book) I am so proud of her and her accomplishment. Bailee works very hard in school and does very well. She loves books and loves to read. She has had an awesome 1st grade year and once again we have absolutely loved her teachers. We have been so blessed to be a part of the ACPS family and look forward to having two kids there next year! Although Bailee still has a week and a half to go before school is out, the end of 1st grade is going to be bitter-sweet...goodbyes are never fun! We LOVE you little Miss B and we LOVE ACPS!!!
