Read Across America Week Spotlight: 3rd-5th grade students read books from the I Survived series by Lauren Tarshis and created wall displays focusing on analyzing character descriptions and traits.
Today kicked off Read Across America week. This week, our theme is Reading Builds Character! We had community and school leaders visit and read to our students today. A special thank you to our Partner in Education, Evonik, for coming to read and donating books for our outdoor library located in front of the school.
This week in the library, students participated in Jumpstart's Read for the Record! All classes read the book See Marcus Grow by Marcus Bridgewater. Kindergarten and First Grade drew and wrote about what they were growing in and Second-Fifth grade students used the book to begin a practice narrative writing for ACAP.
Reminder! Our Parent Advisory Committee will meet tomorrow, 2-27, in the cafeteria at 3:30 p.m.
Check out this creative writing opportunity for our students sponsored by our Partner in Education, Evonik!
