5th Grade: Andrew Clements

The 5th graders finished up their first author challenge. In March, we read part of Andrew Clements' book, "Lunch Money" in our Journeys book. The challenge was for the students to read just one of Andrew Clements' books, take an AR test on that book, and get at least 80% on the test by March 31st. If the students met the challenge, they were rewarded with pizza and lemonade which was served today! I think the students learned a little about setting a goal and learning that the authors who write in their text books are also authors of full-length novels.
