Today is the BIG LAUNCH....our school is celebrating Read Across America and One School One Book with the Adventures According to Humphrey. Our school community will be reading a chapter a day while completing fun activities across every grade level and resource class. The website, Read to Them, provided discussion questions, trivia, activities, and guidance for how to host a successful program. Highly recommend!
To set the scene for the book this week, students dressed in pjs so they could "snuggle" with a good book on Monday. Tuesday students brought their favorite stuffed animal. Today, Wednesday, students and staff are dressing like pirates. The big title reveal was announced this morning during our daily morning announcements. Everyone is ready to celebrate our reading adventures with Humphrey the hamster!
To supplement the activities, I created a choice board for students to access over the next couple of weeks both from home or at their literacy station at school. It follows the same CREATE format that I have used with my other library stations. I included the image below, but you can check out the board and the links on the library website here: According to Humphrey Choice Board on the Website

I also created a virtual classroom that combines several March themes. If you would like to view it on the website, click HERE.

A third choice board option is one that focuses on springtime and March. This choice board also includes links to other choice boards from other librarians (credit is given on their slide).
I am excited about our reading adventures, and I know the kids are going to love having a pet hamster that will live in the front office to greet all of our visitors and students. Hopefully March will be full of warm days and sunshine!
