This week we joined the celebration of author Roald Dahl's 100th birthday. Our K-8 classes joined together for a celebratory assembly.
Some teachers shared favorite Roald Dahl books. Some told about his love of a good story and shared quotes. Others shared about about his life as a WWII pilot. All students who had read or listened to a Roald Dahl book were entered to win a special prize! Seven winners who had a golden ticket won a bag of Roald Dahl book and a bar of his favorite candy.
The fun continued as we made Chocolate Gak in keeping with a Willie Wonka theme. We worked together with our Kindergarten and Second Grade friends. The room smelled wonderful and we had so much fun.
We read books, sang Happy Birthday, ate cupcakes and a good time was had by all.
We plan these events to share with our children our love of books. Good readers have readers in their lives. We want to be those adult readers in your child's life. Do your children know what you are reading? Do they know that you think that reading is exciting and worth celebrating? Share the joy of a good book with your little one tonight.
