Reading took front and center today at Langston because we were reading for the record. Teachers all over campus were reading and giving lessons on friendship using the book, Corduroy written by Don Freeman. This is a program by Jumpstart and takes place all across the U.S. The following is taken from the Jumpstart website:
"Jumpstart’s Read for the Record is a campaign designed to bring attention to the importance of early education. By encouraging hundreds of thousands of children and adults to read the same book on the same day, Jumpstart aims to break a world record and to make early education a national priority.
Once again, children and adults read together at events nationwide in an attempt to break the world record for the largest shared reading experience in history! This year’s campaign took place on October 2, 2008, in schools, libraries, stores, hotels, playgrounds, offices, and homes across the country."

We had a great time with a wonderful book. If you haven't read it yet, you need to!!!
