Friends,
The thing that is making me love coming to work
everyday is the reading promotion we are running this
month. I asked this great group for input on running a
beach promotion, and I got some great ideas. We
challenged our students to read 4,000 books in the
month of March, and they leapt to the challenge. We
have two weeks to go and they have already read 2,000
books! Our library is decorated with palm trees (two
posts that have been turned into trees), seaweed,
tropical fish, tikki huts, 6 bulletin boards with: the
beach and sandcastles, sharks, whales, octopus, diver
and treasure chest each with a cute saying, beach
balls and sand toys, inner tubes, fish hanging from
the ceiling, etc. It looks great and the teachers and
students alike have commented on how great it looks. I
love it when the kindergarten kids come in and say
they feel like they are underwater! The children are
excited about the reading promotion, and when we
announced which grade level was leading this morning
the other grades made an effort to try and bet them
today! My principal is so happy with the results so
far that she wants us to run three promotions next
year. Since this is only my second year here, I was
happy she thought the promotion was a success. Thank
you to everyone who shared their ideas with me, you
helped to make me look great in the eyes of my staff!
