Rachael participated in the Reading Link Challenge at school this year. The top 7 readers in her class each read the same 6 or 7 books. Their team was the Flaming Canadians and they challenged the other teams in the other grade 4 & 5 classes in their school. A librarian from the public library came and asked the teams questions about the books and the Flaming Canadians won! They then went to the public library and competed against other schools.
Some of the questions were really hard - like "How much did the flash light cost," and "What was the exact name of the steamboat." They did great but did not win. 
Rachael did win one of the books she read, though. She later traded it for her favorite book, "Riding Freedom" which was won by one of the boys on her team.
Once they got back to school they had a drum presentation in which all the kids got to play drums.
They presented their speaches in the morning, had pizza for lunch, went to compete in the Reading Link Challenge after lunch, and then came back in time to play the drums. A pretty good day of school if you ask me.
