Today was the official ending to Legacy's Annual "I Love to Read" month. The entire month is devoted to reading more and reading your bibles. The kiddos love this month because there are so many extra fun activities throughout the weeks. This week ended with three super fun days! Wednesday, was dress-up like a teacher, yesterday was pajama day (my favorite), and today was dress-up as your favorite book character. The kids participated all week and I failed to capture pictures minus a few today. The closing ceremony this year involved the head of school and principal competing in fun, odd competitions and then having nasty consequences for losing. The kids loved it. Following the ceremony, the kids present the project they worked on all month to the parents in their classrooms. They did a great job.
CHARACTERS AND PROJECTS:
Kallen: Big Nate and All About Dr. Seuss
Ian: Caleb with the abandoned/hurt fox, Copper from his favorite series, Animal Rescue Center and All About Charlotte's Web
Maddie: Judy Moody and All About Lizards
Now that Caleb is in the fifth grade, he didn't participate in "I Love to Read" dress-up days or competitions but instead participated in the Wax Museum as Tim Tebow. The fifth graders spent the month reading a nonfiction story about a famous person with a faith story. They then made projects and become alive during the museum to educate parents about their person. As a parent, it can be a lot of work, but really fun to see the end results.
