Read-A-Thon

Hmm...another post about reading.  I wonder who loves reading more than me?!?!  Oh yes, that would be your children!  I can hardly get them to put their books down sometimes!  Sometimes they even try to sneak their books out in the middle of instruction!  However, they are not too sneaky for me!  :)  I enjoy seeing this passion to read in kids.  It reminds me of when I was their age.  I used to read for hours upon hours at a time!  In fact I used to get in trouble reading because I would much rather read my good books instead of doing my chores around the house!  So, to honor such a love for books, a Read-A-Thon day has been created.  Just as the word says, we will be having a reading marathon.  This will take place on Friday!    The students are welcome to bring in a small pillow and a blanket if they so choose.  They may also bring in food and a drink.  Please do not send pop!  We like to keep the Read-a-Thon day as healthy and fun as we can.  If your child would also like to bring in books from home, please make sure their name or the family name is on the inside cover so that we can return any borrowed books back to their rightful owner.  As for now, I'm excited for our day to celebrate the joys of reading!  If you would like to come in and join us in our reading, please let me know!
