This week Walhalla Elementary joins other schools in our county, state and nation to observe Children's Book Week. Our theme is "Reading is a sport, too!" Several activities have been planned including having our staff members create pennants for their favorite book. These are displayed on the front hall. Students will be creating their own pennants later in the week. We are also having a book swap where students can bring up to 5 "slightly used" books in good condition to trade for different books. Students who are caught reading can receive a ticket to enter in a drawing for books. We also are playing "Book-O" where we use the title of favorite books to complete a Bingo style game.
I encourage you to take the time to read to your child and to listen to your child read! These are great ways to spend time with your child and to also help them become better readers and listeners.
