Rooster Games 2013!

These three students received "Champion Reader" medals for reading all the books on the list!

I can't believe it, but another Rooster Games has come and gone!  On Wednesday my qualifying fourth graders participated in a kind of "book olympics" based on books that were nominated for the Rhode Island Children's Book Award.  (They are nicknamed the "Rooster Books" because the winning book receives a medal that features the state bird, a "Rhode Island Red" rooster!)  The students who read at least five of the books on the list were allowed to play in the games.  It was a really fun morning, and I was pleased to see all of the students demonstrating good sportsmanship!
