Happy National Literacy Day! 📚🤎
Here’s a little peek into Mrs. Mandy’s Upper Elementary class and some of the ways students have been growing as readers!
A couple of weeks ago, they turned the classroom into a Starbooks Café ☕️📖, where students explored books, talked about what they were reading, and practiced sharing their thoughts and recommendations with others.
Today, they were back to their The Wild Robot novel study! 🤖
We really value our novel study blocks and believe that being intentional with reading time helps build strong, confident readers. Slowing down and spending time with one book gives students the chance to grow their vocabulary, strengthen comprehension, analyze characters, make connections, and have meaningful conversations about what they’re reading.
It’s not just about finishing a book, it’s about learning how to really understand and think about what they read. 📚✨
