Parents and Guardians,
March is Literacy Month and the PTA would like to celebrate by
hosting Harry Potter themed games and activities that support and encourage
literacy. During the month of March we
will have various activities to promote literacy and encourage the kids to
explore the magical worlds that await them in books. The month - actually more like 2 ½ week -
long events will culminate with Literacy
Night on Tuesday, March 27th .
As a PTA, we would like you to know what events are planned so
that you can encourage your students to read and participate. On Monday March 12, your student/s was/were
sorted into a Hogwarts house. Each of
the “houses” will be competing to earn the most house literacy points and to hold
the house cup for the remainder of the year!
Students
earn literacy points for their house by:
·
Completing OPTIONAL outside-of-class literacy
activities listed on their “Optional Literacy
Homework” sheet (see other side)
o
Your student can complete as many of these
optional literacy activities as they would like. Please initial the completed slips and have
your student turn them into the collection cauldron in the library. Stories and drawings do not need to be
turned in.
·
Reading at
home as assigned in class
o
If your student’s class meets their collective
reading goal, every student in the class
will earn a $5 coupon that can be used at the book fair.
o
Be sure to mark your student’s reading minutes
in their planner to help their class reach their goal. Hint:
Your student can read additional minutes to offset some of the students
that might struggle in meeting their reading goal.
·
Winning “Quiddtich”
matches played during the lunch tournament
o
All students in Grades 1-5 will be taught how
to play Quidditch during their Playworks BB rotation 3/13-15.
o
Those in grades 3-5 wishing to compete in a
lunch tournament will sign up individually in the office or after BB. All players will be randomly assigned to a “House” team.
·
Sending letters to teachers and staff via owl. Owlery
is located in the library
·
As a class, correctly answering daily trivia as read over the announcements.
Other
Activities in March:
·
Honeydukes is open for business on Thursdays during lunch. A must-stop for Hogsmeade
visitors, the shelves of this legendary sweet shop are lined with all manner of
wizard’s delectable delights. Cash only please!
Literacy
Night 3/27, 6:00 – 8:00:
