This year at Maple Hill we will be holding a weekly reading contest.
To enter the contest, students will "visit" the featured continent by
reading a related book and writing a basic book report. Books can be
folktales, biographies, books about animal from that continent, country
books, craft books, etc. Check out the display for some book
suggestions. Students earn raffle tickets for each report submitted.
More difficult books receive more tickets. Each Friday we will pull
one raffle ticket and have one "Reader of the Week". Our first
drawing will be on October 3rd. The Reader of the Week will
receive a certificate and will be able to share their book on morning
announcements. The more you read, the better your chances at winning!
National Library Week's
Read Around the World Celebration
We celebrated National Library Week with a Read Around the World
Celebration. Each class shared a folktale and a craft from around the
world. We then had a Cultural Celebration that included: a showcase of
student work, students dressed in traditional clothing from their heritage,
and of course, some wonderful food! Participation awards, special awards,
and our grand prize winner from our weekly reading contest were announced.
A special thanks to Mrs. Wamser's class for their fabulous contributions. Here are some
pictures of this event.
