Once again this year our lower school celebrated Book Week. Classes spent the week examining a selected character, book, author or genre. Teachers organized numerous activities to promote the love of literature.

The most popular activity was ‘reading buddies’ as students across the school partnered with younger students to share their favorite books.

Roattana, Grade 3, said, “I partnered with Panyapich from Grade 2 and we read Amelia Bedelia on the Job which is a great book. It was my favorite part of the week as I love reading books and it was so much fun to share with someone else.”

Dany, Grade 3, said, “We chose our favorite characters from all of the books that we had ever read. There are so many good books to choose from. My favorite book is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I read it in Grade 2 and again this year. I love it when Charlie finds the golden ticket.”

At the end of the week, classes visited the library throughout the day to listen to guest teachers from both lower and high school reading their favorite stories. Grade 1 teacher, Ms. Brady, read a book, new to many, called The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt. This hilarious book has quickly become a new favorite with the students as well as the teachers.

Thanks to all the lower school teachers for providing such enjoyable opportunities for students to learn and explore the wonderful world of reading.
