1.5. Freeman Falcon Spotlight
Rationale:
In June and July, Mrs. Andreason and Ms. Heusman ran the summer reading program with Freeman Elementary students.
The first week, approximately 25 kids attended and during the biggest week there were 60 kids! There were a variety of ages each week. The theme was Tails & Tales, so they based books and activities around stories involving animals. They shared a few books, then did an activity such as a scavenger hunt, jokes, caterpillar races, riddles, and charades. Each week, they had coloring pages that matched with the books. The overarching activity and challenge for the kids was to complete a punch card throughout the month of June. This is done by attending the reading program, checking out books from the library, and reading them. Each book they read earned them corresponding punches on their reading program ticket. On the last Tuesday of the month, the children who were successful were able to pick out a book to keep as a prize for reading all month long! Overall, it was a very fun month of activities, getting kids into the library, and sharing the love of reading! |
