LITERATURE+TREES

FAMILY NIGHT: Wednesday, January 28th, 5:00-7:00 P.M. Teachers attending will be paid for 3 hours at 4th step hourly wage for set-up, family night and activity. Each class needs to design a "Literature Tree" for this event. Guidelines for this project are as follows: One of the projects for the evening will be bookmaking in the art room. If you have any craft/scrap booking materials that could be donated/used for this, please get them to Lynette or one of the paras. HAVE FUN!!!
 * click here to sign up for an author or topic
 * Pick up your tree(s) from the art room if you haven't already
 * The plaid needs to go unless it totally fits the theme of the tree
 * Create and design - the sky is the limit
 * Our goal is for these trees to be a permanent display throughout our building - keep a sealant in mind before adding any 3-d materials
 * Each class/grade level being represented at family night needs to include one of the following with the presentation of the tree: activity, demonstration, game, performance, make-it take-it, storytelling, choral reading, reader theater, etc. Some of you might want to think about using your classroom or the commons area for a demo using technology with literature (interactive boards, stories online, other websites parents could use for storytelling. An example will be shared at Tuesday's faculty meeting. Let Iris or Rosie know if you need any assistance with ideas or materials.
 * Have your projects ready by 5:00 P.M. the evening of the 28th.
