Flashlight Friday!

We started a new Friday reading tradition today! Thanks to the Kids In Need Foundation, who funded our grant, I was able to purchase enough mini-flashlights for our whole class, plus batteries to fill them! This allowed us to have our first Flashlight Friday.

The second graders were so excited to get started, and our classroom was SILENT for more than 10 minutes as we all got lost in our books. When it was time to clean up, many students begged for more reading time!

I would have happily obliged but we had to get to the library to hear a guest speaker, here to celebrate I Love To Read month.

I think that this will be a Friday routine that we'll keep around for awhile!
