Read Across America Week

Wow! What a fun week celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday and Memorial's LOVE of reading! The kids had a blast learning about Dr. Seuss, listening to community readers, wearing their silly socks, and meeting The Cat in the Hat at lunch!

Here is a little peak at what went on this week during Read Across America

Kick off Assembly
Dr. Bilsborough kicked off the week with an assembly where we learned some interesting facts about Dr. Seuss, read the reader's oath, and sang some songs. We had a special guest up at the Mic! Great job Corinne!!






Community Reader
We were thrilled to have Dr. Crowell in as our community reader. Some of you may know him from Medfield vet. He also happens to be Mrs. Crowell's husband! He shared a great story with the class about a lost pet and the vet who helped him!


We even got to see some of the x-rays from Dr. Crowell's practice!

Crazy Sock Day
We couldn't forget about Fox in Socks! So in honor of that book we had Crazy Sock Day! So much fun for the kiddos. We decided we'd take a "sock selfie" to kick start our day :)




First Grader's Reading
Reading is an essential part of our day. We practice Reading to Self or  Reading to Someone out of our good fit book boxes daily. We choose choice books to read aloud or with a friend off our classroom shelves during choice time. We listen to stories at the listening center and during read aloud. We read books and have great book talks at the reading table. We use the IPAD and the computer to get on Raz Kids or read other stories. We read fiction and non fiction, We read chapter books and picture books. We READ! READ! READ! because we want to be better readers and because we love our books!!
