Read The Most From Coast To Coast
Mrs. Cardinal’s third-grade class participated in the “Read the Most From Coast to Coast” contest. The national reading event began last school year. It challenges students to join together to break the record for the number of Accelerated Reader Quizzes taken in one day. The record they will attempt to top, which was set last school year, is 3,581,992 quizzes. Good luck!

Question boxes were used for the novels “Fahrenheit 451” and “The Giver.” Students who are shy or have not taken the opportunity in class can use the boxes to ask Mrs. Smith questions about the novel.
