Reading Olympics

Bryce participated in Reading Olympics this year.  It's a reading competition for fourth and fifth graders.  There were 32 books this year and the goal was for each book to be read by 3 readers on the team.  I coached Bryce's team with our gifted/talented teacher.


The competition was today and the Golden Rich Readers started off strong and won their first round.


You can tell by the look on Bryce's face that not all of the questions were easy and there were some tense moments.  


The team was all smiles after they won their second round.  


Their team went on to win their third round as well, but when all the scores came in, his team was tied with another team for third place.  They had a tie breaker round after lunch and were able to take away third place.


The awards ceremony was at the end of the day and Bryce was acknowledged for reading all 32 books!  These students won a gift card to the book fair for their efforts!


Receiving their medals.


He set a goal to read all of the books from the beginning and he finished with time to spare.  He's looking forward to the book fair coming to school in a couple of weeks so he can spend his prize!


I had a great time coaching his team and I was so proud of how well he did!


Love my Golden Rich Reader!
