Literacy Week

When school resumes on October 25th, it will be the beginning of LITERACY WEEK! This is my favorite week of the year! We are going to be having guest authors, illustrators, professional storytellers, and guest readers (hopefully that's YOU- grandma, grandpa, friends etc.) come in and tell and read their favorite children's stories to the children!

You will be receiving a phone call from a member of the PAC to schedule a time that would work for you! Also we will be having a book reading contest. The children will be given a circle to add to the "Book Worm" for every book that they read, or are read to. WE NEED THE BOOK WORM TO GET ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SCHOOL SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A PIZZA PARTY ON THURSDAY!

HERE'S SOME OTHER FUN LITERACY WEEK ACTIVITIES:

Monday: PLEASE WEAR CLEAN UNIFORMS, AND PANTS/SKIRTS IN GOOD REPAIR. WE WILL BE TAKING PICTURES THAT WILL BE IN THE PHONE BOOK!

TUESDAY: D.E.A.R.-DROP EVERYTHING AND READ DAY! The children are invited to come in their MODEST pajamas, (no sleeveless shirts or shorts please) and can bring a pillow, or blanket, and their favorite children's story to share with their friends! (Please put their name on the book:)

WEDNESDAY: STAHELI FARMS FILED TRIP- Come with us as we learn about a working farm, and the farm animals, take a hay ride to the pumpkin patch and run through the corn maze! We will be needing drivers, but younger siblings would enjoy this field trip too! We will be leaving the school promptly at 9:25!

THURSDAY: The children are encouraged to dress up as their favorite Literary Character! No scary or bloody costumes please, or masks! This is NOT a Halloween dress up activity, rather a celebration of our favorite characters from our favorite books.
