We just finished celebrating Read Week. Our school has traditionally celebrated it the week before spring break. It makes for a nice distraction for kids and adults alike who might possibly otherwise be thinking about those future days off. (Not that I would know anything about that.) This is the letter that I send home to parents about how their child can get involved.
I saw the idea for Read My Shirt Day from Lori at Chickadee Jubilee. I left her a comment saying she inspired me to make a class book. Here's a snippet of the finished product.
Your button is cute!

Thanks Julie. I'm always looking for an excuse to make a class book!
DeleteYour button is really pretty...I love it!
ReplyDeleteI also love the read my shirt idea. Very, very fun and cool for the kids. Did you have a special day where you asked kids to wear a shirt with a message or did you take pictures as the kids wore one? <3
Finally, a HUGE thank you for commenting on my blog. I would award you the "Best Follower" award if you didn't already have one.
Keri, I'm glad you like my button. It's pretty simple, but it's perfect for me.
DeleteThe kids wore their shirts on a particular day.
I'm blessed to know you enjoy my comments. I enjoy yours too!
Thanks for the blog shout out! Turning it into a book is such a great idea. You could reinforce quotation marks too. Also, I love your button! Mine currently doesn't work...it is on my spring break to do list.

You're welcome Laurie. I was more than happy to let people know where the idea originally came from.
