Next week we are celebrating Literacy Week! We have some fun plans for the students to engage in and get excited about reading.

Students can bring a drawing or copy of their favorite book cover. We will be hanging them outside the classroom and we’re looking forward to seeing all their favorites! Whenever a student reads a book during the week, they can make a leaf to hang from our Literacy Tree in the front hallway. Ms. Holly and Ms. Kirsten did a wonderful job making our tree and we can’t wait to see it filled with leaves!

There will be tables set up for a book swap and everyone in the school is welcome to bring books to give away and pick some up in return.

Our biggest event is Literacy Night!  It will be on Tuesday, March 12th from 5:30-7:00 pm. Our students can dress up as their favorite character. We will have many activities (making bookmarks, reader’s theater and more!) and a raffle will be going on throughout the night. Usborne books will also be available for purchase in the library. This is a great time to celebrate literacy with the family and should be a fun-filled night.

We will have a schoolwide Read-a-Thon on Friday, March 15th from 10:00-11:00 am. Your student can bring in a book from home to read and share with the class or they are welcome to read books from our classroom library.
