Children's Book Week

Last week, May 4-10th, was Children's Book Week and like past years, Harrison School celebrated in many ways!  First, we had our annual bookmark decorating contest.  Students were encourage to decorate a bookmark with the theme "Power Up and Read" (which is also the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge Theme this year).  As usual, our students were very creative and they came up with some awesome ideas!  It was hard, but we chose several winners from each grade level to copy and put out for other students to use as bookmarks.  Here are some of the winners:

Next, students were encouraged to write the title of one of their favorite books on a piece of paper to put up in the library for all to see.  It's so nice having these on display for students to look at and get ideas for what to read next!

On Tuesday, students brought in a favorite book for DEAR time (Drop Everything and Read).

 

Finally, last week most of our students logged in to the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge website and started logging their reading minutes.  

It's always fun to celebrate books!!
