Thursday, January 30th Mr. Bill Michella, Mrs. Elohim Pacheco and Mrs. Nicole Polacco kicked off a three week reading program with an exciting assembly. Local author, David Golden stopped by to share his love of reading. He showed the children the process of writing a book and even brought in a model to share with the second and third graders.
The theme for this year’s Parents As Reading Partners (PARP) program was "I (insert heart image) Reading!" The goal of the program was to get families (older siblings, grandparents, babysitters, etc.) involved with nightly reading and to help make reading an enjoyable experience.
There were two read alouds hosted at the Woodstock Library as well as the West Hurley Public Library. Students came to listen to Mr. Michella, Mrs. Pacheco and Mrs. Polacco read some of their favorite books. We also put together a school wide pajama day. Students and teachers wore their favorite pajamas and shared their favorite bedtime stories with their classmates. The entire school joined in wrapping up the program by listening to author, Robert Munsch read two of his silliest stories.
