Dive Into Reading

We are celebrating Read Across America during the month of March with a reading competition. The school is decorated in an ocean theme as we "Dive Into Reading." The students will be working toward reading 100,000 minutes in total. There are goals to be met each week and awards for reaching the goals. We are trying to teach the students the importance of reading and working together to reach a goal.

To kick off this competition we had a special event each day for the first week. On Monday, the students dressed in “a sea of blue.” On Tuesday, the students dressed as pirates. On Wednesday, the students wore ocean creatures on their clothes. On Thursday, in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday, students dressed in Dr. Seuss-related clothes. Friday was beach day.
