READ ACROSS AMERICA ACTIVITIES

Tuesday: DEAR Time… Drop Everything And Read.  The children may bring a stuffed animal or doll to school to read with on Tuesday!

Wednesday:  The children can bring a favorite book to share with the class.  I will be reading these the remainder of the week so I may ask them to bring their favorite book several days or they may either leave it at school until we read it. I discovered many new books when the children brought their favorite books in the fall.  I am looking forward to seeing what comes in this week!!

Thursday:  Book Character Parade at 9:30!!  Come dressed as your favorite character from a book.  Don’t forget to make and wear a sign telling everyone what character you are and the book your character is from.

Friday:  Hats off to great books! Wear a silly or favorite hat to wear while we have a great time reading!!

Have a wonderful week!! Hugs!
