Read-a-thon...just for the enjoyment of reading!

Some classes use a read-a-thon as a fund-raiser. I should probably try that sometime...especially with all the budget cuts... but for now, Room 8 had a morning full of reading just for the simple enjoyment of reading.

This corner of the room got a little rowdy after about an hour and a half. Devin wasn't as loud as he looks. Look at that group of guys...geez, I am going to miss them so much! That's Carlo relaxing on the pillow...then Jacob, Edin, Michael, and the dentists' friend, Devin.
Now these sweethearts are enjoying their reading time. Oh my, I'm going to miss them! This is Macey, Amber the star (notice she has Hollywood on her sweatshirt AND sunglasses!), and Emma.
Danielle and Madison made sure they were comfortable. They were definitely enjoying this time to read. Oh my gosh, I'm going to miss them too!
Speaking of getting comfortable, these guys came prepared. Bean bags, and ... well,I'm not sure what kind of chair Trevor is in, but it looks comfortable! That's Austin in the back, and Kyle W in the front. What will I do without these guys? Kyle W is my first student to ask me to do the TWIST at a dance!
Well, guess who? Yep, that's Elijah. I've already missed him when I couldn't find him ... and all along, he was just hiding. Kamren, made himself comfortable while he read about going to the moon. I wonder if he wants to be an astronaut? I'd REALLY miss him if was on the moon... it's going to be bad enough to just miss him not being in Room 8...much less not being on the planet!Mae and Mary... I have loved having these two girls in Room 8. You may remember Mae as being the mother of Lambert (her dog!) and Mary as our Indian princess. Actually, that was her sister's term for her - Indian princess - but that is perfect for Mary. I will so miss these girls.

Room 8, you are an amazing group... a wonderful class ... I will miss you all so much!
