World Read Aloud Day

Wednesday, March 5th, is known as World Read Aloud Day.  It recognizes the importance of literate societies.  Everyone has the basic right to learn how to read and write.  What an important message!!!  We celebrated World Read Aloud Day at home this year due to about 8 inches of new snow in the area.  Today (Friday, March 7th) we had a chance to enjoy a skype session with Mrs. Cook's elementary library in a suburb to St. Louis, Missouri.  We met Mrs. Owen's 4th grade class and had a wonderful book share.  Students in both classes shared favorite books with each other and explained what made it such a good book choice.  It was great to celebrate the power and joy of good books together!  Below are some pictures from today's skype.  I compliment the class on using their excellent skype manners and also sharing such great book choices.







After our skype session we enjoyed a great discussion about our favorite books and ones that we would like to try that Mrs. Owen's students suggested.  

Don't forget to celebrate the power of reading!!!!!
