CAMPOUT!

Dear Parents,

This year, we have really grown as readers! We would love to celebrate our reading success as a class before we leave for Spring Break.

Friday, March 11th, first grade will be having their First Annual Reading Campout! This is a day to celebrate all the things we have accomplished as readers. To celebrate, we plan to do many fun reading activities that include:

1.   Reading in the Dark- Bring sleeping bags, blankets and      flashlights… Get cozy and read like we are in the woods!
2.   Super Reader’s Scavenger Hunt-read a list and hunt for things outside!
3.    Read a recipe… for S’mores-Of course, we will eat them, too!
4.   Listen to camping stories and pretend like we are in the woods!

We hope that this reading celebration continues to promote excitement about reading! Please feel free to send sleeping bags, blankets, lanterns or flashlights no earlier than the Friday of the campout.
