Ready to Learn Be Responsible Be Respectful Be Safe
I LOVE TO READ MONTH STARTS Monday, February 4th
Follow us on Twitter to find out what we're up to! @StonybrookHSD
1. 100 Hours of Reading - Each homeroom is being challenged to read for 100 hours this month.
2. Story Quilt - Students will get one square of paper to make a visual representation of their favorite book. All the quilt pieces will be put together to make a paper quilt, with borders and all. We hope to have lots of quilts around the school!
3. Library "Bookmark" - Students will have the opportunity to design a bookmark. Winners will be chosen from all entries received, and those bookmarks will then be used for the remainder of the year as Library due date slips.
4. Book Swap - Students will have the opportunity to bring in gently used books and those students will have the chance to get to choose a "new" gently used book from those brought in by other students.
You can support your child by encouraging daily reading at home.
