South Bay Combines Reading Initiative with March Madness

Faculty reading to students thumbnail265347

This school year, South Bay Elementary School has implemented a new schoolwide reading initiative. Each month, every class throughout the building reads the same book together. The students then complete an activity related to the book. For the month of March, students read “The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors.” Throughout the school, classes held a rock, paper, scissors tournament in March Madness fashion. Using brackets, the competition went from 32 players, down to 16, then to the top eight and final four. The remaining four students in the rock, paper, scissors tournament competed at the end of month assembly. Pictured is Mr. Egan’s class.

Kindergarten students at South Bay Elementary School are participating in an author study by reading books by Jan Brett. They recently read “The Mitten,” a story about many animals that congregate inside of a mitten. The kindergartners participated in partner reading, identified different sight words and retold the story. To complete the lesson, students colored and cut out giant mittens depicting the scene in the story.
