This ladies and gents is an amazing team! Gawd love 'em for indulging my dressing up tendencies ;)
This was the 2nd grade team with our appraiser on Reading & Writing Night. He's smiling cuz we don't give him headaches, lol.
Our Reading & Writing Night was the end of February. Each grade level had to host a reading activity & writing activity. I had seen in the blogosphere a couple classes that had a reading café. When I described this idea to my team, they had a hard time visualizing what exactly it entailed.
Basically we set it up very simply, we had the books out on display at each table, they say family style. Parents & kids chose books and the children read to their parents! We served each family blue punch & goldfish, which was a huge hit!
Our writing activity was right next door in the computer lab where parents & kids used the Scholastic Story Starter website. The kids & parents loved it :)
2nd Grade had packed rooms ALL night, we had to "take reservations" and people had to come back to read.
Needlesstosay the kids & parents did most of "the work" which is the whole purpose of our content nights; to have parents actively engage in learning with their children, with us lending a guiding hand.
Another successful night in the history books! Way to go Willow Springs!
