We have had a blast reading Kenny and the Dragon this month, not just as a school but as a whole district! We culminated our reading quest with kids making dragon puppets (classes of younger and older students were paired) and then sharing them at a whole school assembly to end the day. Grade levels showed off their creations :)
There are SO MANY people to thank for this amazing extended activity (and I hope I haven't missed anyone):
- Teaching & Learning for writing the grant to get the books and providing the daily comprehension questions
- PTA for bead necklaces for daily chapter participation
- PTA for plenty of prizes for a bit of extra motivation
- Mrs. Phillips for organizing and emceeing the opening and closing events
- Horace Mann library staff for behind the scenes work
- Parents, teachers and students for reading and enjoying the book
I hope this serves as a springboard for reading all summer long. If you haven't done so already, please head up to Lakewood Public Library to sign up for their summer reading program!
