Of course, we read everyday as well. All of our 5th graders are buddy readers with a first grade class. They get together twice a week. This experience is really helping our first graders and our 5th graders are wonderful role models. Renaissance is a big part of my reading program. One of my students even wrote a winning essay this year…..and was honored at our local library. I am leaving HIS NAME and MY NAME OUT………but, you will see what reading has meant to him this year. March 3, the day of celebration sounds wonderful. Here is ‘part of his essay’ that addresses his reading success, this year.

In the past, I always hated school and never wanted to go on Mondays. That has all changed this year because of my teacher.. She makes me feel special and safe at school because she aways takes care of me and helps me when needed. Now Mondays are the best day of the week.

Reading has always been hard for me since the 1st grade. Every year I had to have extra help to be a better reader. I have never felt like it really worked. I worried I would never be a good reader. At times, I felt left out because of struggling with my reading. I don’t feel that way this year. Now, my teacher has shown me I AM a reader. She finds books I’m interested in and encourages me to read them. I can’t believe how much I have already read!

The most important thing that makes my teacher so special is that she cares about everyone. She makes us all feel loved . She lifts my confidence every day. I want to do my best because she rewards me and makes me so happy. I want to give 100% every day.

These are things that make my teacher so special. I am so thankful that she is my teacher. I wish that everyone could have her as a teacher.

The kids love to check in and see how many quizzes have been taken! During our school Book Fair each classroom teacher purchased a book to add into our raffle basket for March 3rd.

That sounds like an awesome celebration, Carly. You’ll have to let us know if your students reach the school-wide reading goal!

I currently work at the district level analyzing data and I know that lots of reading will help students build their understanding and proficiency.

We have an entire week of events planned for Read Across America and Dr. Seuss’ Birthday.

One of the biggest reading events we have is celebrated during Read Across America where school-wide we celebrate with a Dr. Seuss theme. Our classroom doors are decorated and everyday a different event is run through media. One day students may swap old books from home with other students. Another day members of the community come to read in our classrooms. We even will have a Lorax day where students will have a period of time to help clean up areas around our school. Then on Friday, if a school-wide reading goal is attained, students will attend an assembly to see Ooblek poured onto our principal and v.p.’s heads. There are also thematic dress-up days in the spirit of Dr. Seuss stories.

If they successfully test, they will have it initialed by the teacher. Categories include a Dr. Seuss book, a book with an animal character, a biography, etc.
When students get a row completed, they will get a fun Dr. Seuss prize (pencil, eraser, bookmark, etc.).

As a child I loved comic books but I had a teacher tell me you couldn’t learn anything from a comic. As a teacher now, I know how wrong she was! Interest feeds learning…regardless of the format.
