HES kicked off Read Across America Monday with Cat In The Hat. We celebrated by listening to Marc Pisacka's recorded reading. Collecting 100 Cat In The Hats from around the school building and using them to decorate the front doors and wearing our crazy hats!
Read Across America fun continued at HES on Tuesday with our Fox in Socks day! We enjoyed listening to Staci Hammersmith's recorded reading, decorating our own crazy socks to decorate our school with, and wearing crazy socks!
Wednesday at HES we enjoyed listening to Brent Thorson's recorded reading of Oh The Places You Will Go. Students and staff sported their favorite teams gear an made their own hot air balloons to share what they would like to be when they grow up.
We wrapped off HES's Read Across America with Vivki Stone's recorded reading of Green Eggs and Ham, a pajama day, and a school wide vote of "Would you eat Green Eggs and Ham?" Also, throughout the week students and staff have been keeping track of their reading on small strips of paper in a friendly competition with the winner getting a donut party when they return from Spring Break. Our school read a total of 1,934 books this week with 3rd grade winning the competition with 810 books!
