Spring Reading Program

During the month of April the principle at Elizabeth's school had this reading contest for the whole school. The challenge was to read as many minutes as you could and the kids with the most minutes would win the opportunity to ride this wave thing at the schools pool party at the end of the year. Elizabeth wanted to win so bad! They would only pick the top kids of each grade to get to do this. So Elizabeth worked really hard and on her own would spend hours reading books. Well when it came down to it she was one of the top 5 kids in her class to read the most and win. Now because she is in the 1st grade a lot of the kids aren't tall enough to do the wave thingy so they decided that all 1st grades that win get to throw water balloons that day at the principle and the new principle that will be coming in next year. Elizabeth is so excited to be able to throw water balloons and I don't even think she remembers about the wave thing anymore. I am so proud of her hard work and determination to read!
