Mrs. Titus's class at Franklin Preschool set a classroom WIG (Wildly Important Goal) to read 2,000 books. They voted on their reward for reaching that goal and decided on a PJ party. Not only did they reach their goal, but they also surpassed it by SEVERAL HUNDRED books!
Last week students got to have their PJ party and also received extra playtime and a special snack that was provided by a parent! We are so proud of these kiddos and how they are going above and beyond!
