Chas is seen here standing in front of grades K-2 to receive his FIRST AR award- 25 points! AR is Accelerated Reader, and the students are encouraged to read books and take comprehension tests on them to receive credit for them. Most books for Chas- he's reading at a third grade level- are 1/2 a point each. So, to get to 25 points, he had to have read at least 50 books! (You don't get a full 1/2 point if you miss a question.) We are VERY proud of him!! The awards are given out during the monthly - bimonthly assembly, and each assembly has a theme. The one for today was "Crazy Hair." As you can see, Starks was NOT going to be left out of the celebration!
Here are the boys standing outside after school.

I'm also including this adorable picture of Chas during his party today. Surprisingly, they had an EASTER party!? They even had an egg hunt. I helped in class today and got to see 19 kids on a high! Here's Chas with the bunny ears he made this morning! They also made a basket for their goodies shaped like rabbit ears, read Easter bunny books, and ate lots of candy! :)
