Then they can mark that on a star the next day!
This week we will also be having special dress up days to celebrate different kinds of books. Check out all the dress up days to come!
🌟Let's Celebrate Reading🌟
Today Anne Sullivan started counting all of the books we read and listen to each day. Each day this week students will get a star to write down the number of books that they read or books that were read to them and we will count them all up! You can help at home by reading to your students or listening to them read and the next day they can put it on their star!!
Along with counting all of our books we will also celebrate with DRESS UP days!! See the poster for themed dress up days that help us learn about different kinds of books!
Read Across America Week is HERE!! 📚 Beginning today, March 13th the Sioux Falls School District will work with city libraries to help kids read more books and encourage their love for reading! This year the number of books read will also benefit REACH Literacy with donations from the supporting vendors. Families, this is a great time to talk to your students about books they are reading at school, which books they love most, and maybe take a night to read a book together!
