Literacy Week

We are right in the middle of Literacy Week at Royal Oak School!  Students are enjoying activities throughout the week such as:
- D.E.A.R. (drop everything and read)
- Guess the Robert Munsch Book (a blurb is read in the morning and students submit their guesses)
- Get Caught Reading (prizes are handed out when an adult "catches" someone reading)
- During the Literacy Block, each class will visit a new class to hear a Robert Munsch book.

We have been watching different Robert Munsch books during snack time on Tumblebooks.  Parents and students can access Tumblebooks at home with the Username: Royaloak and Password: books
Literacy week will conclude Friday with an assembly in the morning, "crazy hair AND pajama" day, and a book reading from a special guest.

And this is from Ms. Asis:

I found this event on Twitter last night from the Calgary Public Library to celebrate Family Literacy Day on Friday. Since we already reading in our assembly on that day I will be filling out an entry for our school. If you could please post the link to your teacher blogs to let parents know and to spread the word, I would appreciate it. We'll be asking parents who attend our assembly to fill in an entry for themselves via Twitter.
