Read Across America 2023 at OES
During the week of February
27 - March 3, we will celebrate “Reading Is For Everyone” with special
activities at Oakland.
Monday: Let's celebrate that reading takes us places!
Activity: Dress in Hawaiian
shirts or tacky tourist clothes to “travel” with a book.
Tuesday: Let's
celebrate that reading is amazing...and so are you!
Activity: Wear mismatched
socks to celebrate how our differences make us unique.
Wednesday: Let's celebrate that reading is
relaxing.
Activity: Dress in your jammies
to get cozy when you read today.
Thursday: Let's celebrate that reading is
active.
Activity: Dress up to celebrate how you like to be active (exercise clothing or team
jersey). Reading “jogs” our minds.
Friday: Let's celebrate that reading makes our
future bright.
Activity: Wear neon
colors or your favorite OES shirt
because our students have a bright future ahead!
Students will also receive a special bookmark during their
library visit, and classrooms will participate in a door decorating
contest. We can’t wait to see all of the
creative reading-related door displays.
The winning classrooms will receive prizes.
“A book is a gift you can
open again and again.“ ~ Garrison Keillor
