Our annual Reading Day was Friday, October 30th. We had a terrific day celebrating reading!
We started out the day by coming in and admiring each other's fantastic costumes. Students were invited to dress up as a favorite book character. The students were so creative we had a butterfly, Beavers coach Mike Riley, a shadow ninja, Harry Potter, Little Red Riding Hood, and a princess just to name a few. Check us out!
After that we had some time for buddy reading. The students set out their blankets and pillows and selected a comfortable spot to read.
Next we had an assembly given by famous children's author Helen Ketteman. She read a couple of her books to us and shared how she crafts her stories. The students were inspired to be authors themselves.
After lunch we had a visit from Snow White. She came and read her story to us. How fun!!
Our next assembly was a visit from Walker Middle School's advanced drama class. They shared poetry with us in dramatic form! The students absolutely enjoyed their presentation. It is especially neat that Madison's brother was in the group.
After the assembly we spent some time creating our own bookmarks and doing some more buddy reading.
