Our special education students celebrated Clifford's birthday on November 17, 2010.
Our multi-disciplinary celebration promoted reading in a very unique way. Our morning began with a storytime hour. It was followed with a free paperback book giveaway. Clifford made his apperance as the choir group arrived. The 5-person choir team serenated Clifford with their lovely voices. The drama class participated with a delightful skit starring Emily (Clifford's owner). Our school band also joined in the celebration. Their performance was spectacular. Students were following every rhythm and beat. Clifford enjoyed it so much he even danced! The day concluded with a birthday cake and a pinata. In all, it was a wonderful, fun-filled event that motivated students and got them excited about reading. Students learned that reading can be fun and this celebration proved it.
