March in the Reading Center was a busy time. Students enjoyed listening to stories that were told through the use of letter writing. Students were also given the opportunity to write some letters themselves.
In April, we will be focusing on books that feature the season of spring. The first story we will read will be a book entitled The Gardener by Sarah Stewart. It is a book that is written in the form of letter writing and takes place during the time of The Great Depression. The week before Easter Break we will read a story called The Other Side of Easter. It is a book with fascinating illustrations using ambigrams. It’s focus is the biblical message of Easter. I hope the students enjoy these stories as we head into the spring season.
As always, please talk to your children about what they are reading and about books that they have checked out from the school library. In the coming weeks I’ll send out notices for overdue books. Have a wonderful Spring!
