The excitement has been building up, especially over the past week, as students helped us get ready for our annual literacy week by bringing in beautiful photos and picture collages of family reading, by voting for favorite picture books, by sharing wonderings and questions to ask the authors we will be meeting next week, by chatting with each other about favorite book characters to dress up as next Friday, and by generally spreading their contagious enthusiasm about the upcoming week. From the many questions we can tell, students don't want to miss anything next week and can't wait to get started celebrating a week of picture book stories and reading together. Here a sneak peek into our library:
And here the highlights of the week in a brief overview:
