Colter School…Crazy About Reading!
We’re fast approaching the end of April here at CES, and preparing for our annual library book fair! Students are always excited about a week of browsing the books, but this year we’re making READING the star of the show.
Scholastic’s theme this year, “Lights, Camera, Bookfair!” led us to a school-wide project idea. Students can choose to create a 1-2 minute video book talk, recommending a book that they’ve read and enjoyed. We’ll be publishing these videos on Buddy’s 4-1-1 and to a wider audience online! We’ll be adding videos this week and next week, as they’re recorded.
As a way of celebrating Read Across America, sponsored by the National Education Association, students will participate in a school-wide reading challenge from February 25-March 3. Every classroom in all grade levels will track the number of minutes students read outside of school, and report their reading totals to the library on the 3rd. The classes with the most minutes read at each grade level will receive a free book from the fair, as well as a book for their classroom library.
Stay tuned for more about our reading festivities! See you at the fair.
