"Reaching New Heights"
|
The Primary goal of Reading Week
is to encourage students to become Young Authors and Readers. Our
students were asked to join in the celebration of this year's theme, "2002:
Reaching New Heights." This theme encouraged students to stretch
their talents in reading and writing while exploring an author's point
of view. Students were asked to reflect on the author's intent and
decide the value of the message expressed. They had the opportunity
to explore other ways a story could be written, adding their own point
of view.
Thanks to Mrs. Kathy Gafen, a wide variety of guest readers was scheduled to read to our students throughout reading week. Classrooms were treated to visits by Congressman Langevin, Senator Reed, the Cardi Brothers, Gene Valicenti, Wendy Cicchetti, Oscar Eustis, and many other individuals who gave so generously to our students. Eldredge students were easily able to reach new heights thanks to the great celebration of Reading Week! |
