Below are the new first grade book totals for our Tower of Books Challenge.  Our class was in the lead, but Mrs. Vella’s class just passed us up this week, and, even though we love Mrs. Vella’s class, we need to work hard to regain our lead! 🙂 

 

Bischoff – 1 book stacked = 5 books read

Hills/Teichert = 4 books stacked = 20 books read

Nelson – 6 books stacked = 30 books read

Vella = 18 books stacked = 90 books read
