Literacy Alive

Yesterday, the Lower School celebrated literacy with an event called Literacy Alive.  We focused on the 2016 Newbery winner, Last Stop on Market Street.  This book reminds us to focus on what we DO have and to be thankful.

The day started off with a literacy assembly.

Third graders had a choice between four classes (all based on Last Stop on Market Street): Making a collage, writing a postcard, writing the next page in the book, and writing a song.  After the assembly, the students went to the class of their choice.

Later in the day, all four classes met together and shared about their literacy classes.  Six students shared collages, three students shared their postcards, three students shared the next page in the book, and the whole group of singers sang their song.  It was a fun day!
