January 27 is National Literacy Day! At Evergreen School we will be celebrating literacy in a few different ways. In the morning, teachers will choose a favourite book to share and will share their love of reading with a different class other than their own. It will give students an opportunity to not only find out about a new book, but they will also have the opportunity to get to know an adult in the school they might not have met before. In the afternoon, everyone, including the caretakers, office staff, students, teachers, and support staff, will participate in D.E.A.R... Drop Everything And Read!
As a family, the most important thing you can do to promote literacy development for your children is to read with them daily.
