2/8/2019 0 Comments It's I Love to Read MonthBy Anderson Prater
The weather has been all but gentle lately, the snowstorms and low temperatures have been a recipe for cabin fever. But don't worry the elementary school has found a perfect remedy, reading. February is I love to read month, and the elementary schools have been reading up a storm. They have packed each week full of fun reading activities to keep boredom at bay. Each Monday in February the students have "read with a buddy day" where they read with a friend. Tuesday is drop everything and read day, at a different time each Tuesday the students stop whatever they are doing and read for fifteen minutes. Tuesday is not only drop everything and read day, but each Tuesday also has a theme. There is a career day where you dress up as the career you would like to have, a blackout day and a "tricky Tuesday" where you bring riddle books or funny books. That may sound like a lot, but that's only Mondays and Tuesdays this month. Each Wednesday is family themed including reading to family, making a bookmark for a family member and writing a card to someone in your family. Each Thursday has a fun thing to bring to school including valentines day, where students are encouraged to bring their favorite poem to share, and on the 28th they are asked to bring their favorite Dr. Seuss book. Finally, Fridays each have fun activities attached to them like campout day where students bring flashlights to read their books in the dark. There is also a Disney Friday where you can dress up as a Disney character and bring your favorite Disney book. There will even be a beach party where students can bring their beach towels and "Read on the beach." For everyone looking to beat the cabin fever this winter, try picking up a book. Maybe read to an elementary schooler near and dear to you, whatever you do this winter happy reading.
