March is Reading Month, but that is a little deceiving because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE reading all year long. It is especially exciting for me to see your children begin to develop a love of reading too. This is the time of year when it seems to "click" for them and many cannot put down the books.
We have a lot of fun activities planned for March around reading. Friday we kicked off our month of fun by meeting our third grade reading buddies and having a Read In in the library. First grade students were paired with a third grader who will be their buddy for the remainder of the year. We met in the library where Mrs. Wize cooked green eggs and ham in celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday and I had an art activity based on Dr. Seuss ready. Unfortunately we ran out of time but will finish the art on Monday.
Special thanks to Mrs. Henderson who volunteered all day and helped keep the kids on track.
