Reading Night

Myself, the first grade teacher and the second grade teacher spent the past few weeks planning and organizing the school's first ever Reading Night! Tonight we finally put all of our planning into action.

Our theme was If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. We began by reading that book to the students. We then had 3 activity centers for the students to rotate through. We had a word work activity, a cause and effect activity and a craft. At the end of the stations all the students came back together for a few rounds of sight word bingo. During this time all the students met with one of the teachers for a small session on how to help your child while reading with them.

Overall the night was a huge success! We received wonderful feedback from all of the parents. The principal also attended and was elated with what we produced. There were multiple requests for more in the future. This was a great experience for me to have. There was a ton of work and planning involved but seeing everything come together was worth every minute of it.
