Readathon

On Friday Kenny's school had an all day Readathon. He got to go to school with a blanket, pillow, stuffed animal, books, and snacks. I am sure the main reason for the readathon was to give the teachers time to get their grades in the system (it was the last day of the first marking period). I think it's a great idea. Last year I was doing some observation time in a different elementary school in town and the students watched videos all day on the last day of the marking period. I'd much rather the kids read all day than watch tv! Anyway, Kenny had a great time and the teachers got their grades in. Sounds like a win-win situation to me!
