The 100 Club

On Monday, January 7th, the first grade started the 100 Club.  The goal is that each first grader will read 100 books by the end of the school year.  Well, Alex went right to work all on his own.  He read and read and read. Tuesday, January 15th he finished reading 100 books. He was the first person in the entire first grade to finish. This was the 100th book he read.


He was so excited to get his t-shirt on Wednesday. 
However, he read so fast that the t-shirts hadn't arrived. 
Look what he came home in today....


Way to go Alex! 
Drew was especially excited!


Here are a few words by Alex...
