Love to Read Week


Today we had the pleasure of welcoming another fabulous Love to Read Week reader into our classroom, Ms. Burns.  She was kind enough to read The Giving Tree to our students.  We had some great talks about the message of this story.  It was a great culmination to a wonderful week.

Love to Read Week



This week is Love to Read week in District 200, where we have the opportunity to welcome members of our community into our classrooms as they share their love for reading with us.  Today we got to see our friend, Ms. Oliver.  She was kind enough to read The Butter Battle Book to us.  She taught us about the Cold War, the arms race, and most importantly, how to resolve our conflicts peacefully without allowing them escalate.  This morning was truly fascinating.
