Celebrate Education/Literacy Week, 

May 2-6, 2016

Parnall Piblic School

We are celebrating LITERACY at Parnall School from May 2nd-6th. Throughout that week, we will be engaging in various activities to promote the love of reading and writing.

On Tuesday, May 3rd, each class will write 2-3 sentences for a school story. Chart paper will be passed around, beginning with the Kindergarten classes and finishing up with the Grade 8's. Creativity and humour are strongly encouraged. Mr. Scott will read the completed story during morning announcements the following week.

On Wednesday, May 4th, students will participate in a BOOK SWAP. Each child is encouraged to bring books from home that they have already read and are wanting to swap for new ones.

On Thursday, May 5th, students will team up and spend one period reading with Reading Buddies in a higher grade.

Friday, May 6th, is DRESS LIKE A BOOK CHARACTER DAY. Students are encouraged to come to school dressed as a character from a children's book. Those students who participate will receive points for their COLOUR HOUSE Team.

We hope that you will encourage your child to attend and participate in these fun, literacy promoting activities.
