We are excited to celebrate Reading Week during the week of March 3-7. Our theme this year is "Reading is an Adventure." Mrs. Gaynor has created a week full of fun activities to celebrate reading. This week your learners will bring home a printed flyer with more information about the activities for the week and spirit days.
Family Literacy Night: "Camp Read-a-Lot" is Thursday, March 6th from 5:30-7:00 PM. Families will receive a list of camp activities and a "Camp Card" at the door and will have the opportunity to visit the stations listed below. After each station is visited, they will receive a camp themed sticker for their Camp Card. Stations include:
Make & Take: Build a puppet from a story or create a cube for retelling any story
Campfire Compound Words: Make as many compound words as you can (words on s’mores template cards)
Say It Like…: Practice tongue twisters using different voices (camp themed tongue twisters & voices such as a mean counselor, a worried mom, etc.)
The Best Time Ever: Write a camp story Mad Libs style.
Gone Fishin’ for Rhymes: Match rhyming words (create ponds from blue bulletin board paper on floor, word cards placed around pond for students to stand on & fish for matching rhyming words)
Reading Under the Stars: Read with your family using a flashlight (read sitting around paper campfires either inside a dark classroom or outside TBD)
S’Mores Station: Follow directions to make a s’mores (preassembled baggies with a graham cracker, chocolate, & craft stick or plastic knife; jars of marshmallow fluff/creme)
