ES Reading Week!

Next week, the DAA ES will celebrate Reading Week!

We have chosen next week as it coincides with Read Across America and World Book Day!  Each day of the week, students will do a simple activity to encourage a deep love of reading.  

For your information, here's the schedule for ES Reading Week:

Sunday, Feb. 28: Day 1

• Digital Read Aloud Day! Story time online

Monday, Feb. 29: Day 2

• Read Aloud Mix Up! We will have our very own librarian, Ms. Mollenkramer, read to our class at 8:30.

Tuesday, Mar. 1: Day 3

• Book Quote Bulletin Board
• Outside the Library will be slips of paper where students can write their favorite quote from a book and put it in a box.  All of the slips will be used to create a Words of Wisdom bulletin board.

Wednesday, Mar. 2: Day 4

• Dr. Seuss’s Birthday: Fact in the Hat!
• All around the ES will be Dr. Seuss hats.  Each will have a fact about Dr. Seuss on it!  Kids can read them and learn all about Dr. Seuss!

Thursday, Mar. 3: Day 5

• Character Dress-up Day!
• Come to school dressed as your favorite character! To cap off an amazing week of celebrating reading, your child is encouraged to think about a great book they have read and come to school dressed up as that favorite book character. This book character dress up day will spark many conversations between students to share about their favorite character and books and continue to set the environment for the love of reading to be contagious. As a reminder, we do not consider cartoon or movie characters as part of this day. Students are only permitted to wear costumes from book characters on this reading celebration day. Thank you for your support and cooperation.

• Outdoor reading!  The tennis courts have been turned into a reading space for the day!  Bring your favorite book outside to relax and read all together as a grade.
• Schedule:
• Grade 3: Period 2
• Grade 4: Period 6
• Grade 5: Period 3 or 7
