The last week of February is dedicated to Dr. Suess and we do fun stuff to celebrate such as;
pajama day, hat day, inside out day, crazy sock day.
In December we have a Christmas Story reading day, and in the future I am hoping we can have different author days, such as Paulette Bourgois Day.(she's my favorite). Our kindergarten classes have an "Author of the Week" every week.
On occasion a few students from our local high school come over and share books with our students, they are usually English students or belong to a specific club such as the Literary Club.
Basically, ROnald McDonald comes to your school and puts on a 30 minute Reading Assembly for free!
This particular assembly is appropriate for third grade and under. He brings everything, including his own sound system. Here's the web site www.mcdonaldsnymetro.com/html/body_ronaldappearancepage.html
Last year, we had Ronald at our school for an assembly titled, "Character Counts" and it was really good. Anyway check out the website.
