SUPER READER HABITS
In January and February, we will focus on HOPE.
Families have a conversation based on this question: What about your reading life this year makes you feel more hopeful? Together create a “Hope Map” that encompasses hopes for one another, hopes for the world, and how reading something this year inspires them to hope bigger and dream bigger for themselves, for one another, and for the world. We would love to see your hope map. Send pictures to angelaspearman@pickens.k12.sc.us .
