Division 8 engaged in a lot of thoughtful and meaningful activities for Literacy Week.

Monday: Family Read Event

We kicked off Literary Week with our Family Read event! It was such a wonderful morning having families come in to read with us!

Tuesday: Guest Reader

Wednesday: Character Dress Up or Wear a shirt with words!

Thursday: Door Decorating! 

Throughout the week, we worked on our door art! We read the story “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus” by Mo Willems. We learned how to draw the infamous pigeon from his books and created speech bubbles with our own sayings! There were so many great ideas!

 

Friday: Buddy Read in the Dark! 

We ended Literacy Week with our buddy reading in the dark event! We brought our flashlights and blankets to school and read with our big buddies in the gym.

We created tuques using white oil pastels, watercolour paint, tissue paper, and glue. We used the white oil pastels to draw a hidden pattern and design on our tuques. Afterward, we painted over the white oil pastels, and we were amazed to see our design emerge – it was like magic! Following that, we used tissue paper to make the pom-pom on the top of our hats. This art project was incredibly enjoyable, and we got the chance to learn many new skills and techniques!

Let’s sprinkle kindness wherever we go!

To create a visual reminder, we made donuts with our big buddies. It was a fun and collaborative project where we worked together to create our unique donuts, each one amazing in its own way!

Throughout the year, we will reflect on these donuts and the importance of spreading kindness. Even the smallest act of kindness can brighten up someone’s day!
