🚧🔨 Literacy Week is Coming! 🔨🚧
Get ready for a week of fun, learning, and building! Our theme this year is "Building Literacy: Constructing the Foundation for Success!" We're encouraging all classes to participate in activities that will deepen children's understanding of workforce education and the importance of literacy.
Check out the exciting activities for each day:
Monday: Safety First! 🚧
Wear bright safety vests, goggles, and more! Discuss the importance of safety in building and relate it to teamwork and friendship.
Tuesday: Little Builders 🛠️
Dress in overalls, flannel shirts, and hard hats! Connect dreams to literacy as we explore how reading helps us build our futures.
Wednesday: Build Your Future 🔮
Dress as what you aspire to be when you grow up! This is also Guest Reader Day – we can't wait to see the careers come to life!
Thursday: Set the Blueprint for Reading 📐
Wear blueprint colors – jeans and white shirts – and let's lay the foundation for literacy!
Friday: Vocabulary Parade 🏆
Students will research a word and create a costume to creatively interpret its meaning! Parents are invited to join us for a drive-thru parade at 8:30 AM in the bus loop and parent pick-up line.
We can't wait to build literacy together! 📚👷♀️👷♂️ #LiteracyWeek #BuildingSuccess #CentralElementary #ReadingIsKey
