Some benefits of reading during the summer that students learned about were:
Preventing Summer Slide: Regular reading helps prevent the loss of academic skills that can occur during the long summer break, ensuring your child stays on track for the new school year.

Q3-Illustrators and Read-a-Thons
Q3-Illustrators and Read-a-Thons
In Quarter 3 students in 1st grade discussed what authors and illustrators do. They then were given a short passage that they made an illustration for.
We also held our school wide Read-A-Thon during quarter 3. We had a number of students reading and hope to continue having a Read-A-Thon to celebrate OWN2's reading culture!
Here are our Read-a-Thon students who were our top readers and students with donations...

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!!!
This was our first read-a-thon that we have held in a while. We are very proud of the students who took part and read or donated. The goal of our read-a-thon is to enable a love of reading in our students. Finding new books and series helps students continue reading long after the read-a-thon is done. Students are thinkers when they choose books and topics that they themselves are interested in.
1st grade students thought about the passage and came up with an illustration that they thought best fit.

"The Shelf Elf"--Showed students the library expecations...
We learned that we need to return our books and to make sure to keep our books "clean and neat."
This book showed what could happen when we are not careful with our books. Marion dropped jam on her book and was unable to clean it until there was no book left.
