Greenwood Elementary celebrated READ ACROSS AMERICA

.

 

Delmae Elementary celebrated READ ACROSS AMERICA in honor of the great Dr. Seuss.  They had several activities throughout the week...
Monday - everyone put on a hat to read with the CAT!  They  enjoyed seeing the many silly hats! 
Tuesday - everyone adorned our silliest socks so we could be as silly as Dr. Seuss!
Wednesday - “read a t-shirt” day.  Faculty and students came to school wearing t-shirts with words.  They had great fun reading all the different shirts! 
Thursday - pajamas were worn they  we could snuggle up with a good book!  Each class had DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) time.  They also had guest readers come in on Thursday to share books with students. 

Finally, to wrap up the reading celebration, they had a “Decorate a Hat” contest for the classes.  Each class chose a book they had read or studied and designed a hat to highlight that book.  There was one winning class from the K – 2nd division and one winning class from the 3rd – 4th division.  The building administrators served as judges for the hat contest.  The hats were displayed in the cafeteria for all classes to enjoy when they came to lunch.

Royall enjoyed a week long celebration of Read Across America.  They began the week with a birthday party for Dr. Seuss complete with cake and a visit by Cat in the Hat and Thing 1 and Thing 2!  There was  a school wide display, “Read Across Royall”, with hats that lined our hallways with students’ writings about their favorite book.  Teachers enjoyed lattes in the library on Tuesday for “Read a Latte” Day.   The week ended with community volunteers reading  Dr. Seuss stories to all the classes.

North Vista kicked off its Read Across America celebration Monday, March 3 with a parade to Williams Middle School and back.  All classes created banners depicting favorite books or authors. Students also carried artifacts to represent the book or books that were chosen. North Vista’s Drum Line kept the parade of readers in step as community members, Williams’ students, and other observers cheered.
