National Reading Month Recap
National Reading Month Recap
Thank you to all who helped make our National Reading Month Challenge and Reading Social a huge success.
Thank you to all who helped make our National Reading Month Challenge and Reading Social a huge success.
The students enjoyed food, puzzles, crafts, book discussions, candy bar bingo, and more during the Reading Social. Throughout March they earned raffle tickets for completing challenges about reading in our everyday lives. At the social, they used those tickets for an opportunity to win all sorts of prizes. Thanks to the Hammonton Education Association, we were able to raffle off marker sets, journals, reading lights, and Amazon Alexas!
