Literature came alive at Cridersville Elementary School as it was “Be a Book Day” on Friday.
Students traveled from room to room to hear stories from their teachers’ favorite books. Whether it was learning how to cook from Julia Chiles, getting to know “Shaggy, Scooby and the gang” and being introduced to a Venus Fly Trap named “Plantilla”, the students were captivated by the stories. The youngsters also got to dress up as their favorite book characters.
4th Grader Andre Varno tells about his favorite, “Harry Potter, I dressed up as this character because it’s my favorite book. I like to see the action and stuff. I watched the movies.”
4th grader Natalie Lord adds, “I’m dressed up as the big bad wolf and it’s because I really love that story cause there’s many different versions of it.”
3rd Grade teacher Heather Meeks adds, “I absolutely love it. Like they’re so excited and they’re there and they’re motivated. You’ve grabbed their attention. They love books and they don’t want it to end. The last class that was in here they’re like awe, we didn’t get finished with it.”
Friday wrapped up a weeklong of “Right to Read” activities.
