Newsletter - 3/4/11

We had a great week celebrating books and reading with Wellman Elementary “Wild about Reading” theme. We began the week with a favorite book “Where the Wild Things Are” and then we created wild thing paper bag puppets to use on our front door. We are sure that our door should win the contest! If we do we get a pizza party. If not, well, we are very proud of our door. It says, “K-A is WILD about Reading” and we really are.

To fit in with the W. E. reading week I created activities around a nighttime theme for the students this week. It’s always good to break out of the usual curriculum from time to time to re-energize. We read big books and our own small books “Nighttime” and “Sleeping Out”

We had guest readers on Wednesday. Mr. Showalter brought two of his varsity basketball players and we enjoyed listening to them read to us. Thursday was fun in our pajamas and we had a “read and feed” time. On Friday we did a “stop, drop, and read” throughout the day and finished with an all school assembly.
