On 4/7/15 my friend and I put on a Read-A-Thon at our school. The school becomes a magical place as we transformed the school to look like a scene out of a Dr. Seuss book. Our art teacher works on art projects with the kids for us to hang throughout the hallways. She has the 4th grade students paint the exit doors with different Dr. Seuss book themes. This year we did something new. With the help of our amazing gym teacher, Mrs. Herrling, our gym was transformed into a magical flaslight reading place. Each grade level came in and was able to read. There were mats, cushions, blankets and christmas lights hung. It truly was in my opinion one of the best sights this year. And to watch so many kids come into the gym all excited and then all at once become quiet and go into reading mode was amazing. We did not know if it would work. If having 4 different classes together would be disruptive and if the kids would be silly in the dark gym. But they did it. They came together for our literacy program and read together. We saw kids with a love of reading want to do this. It was truly a magical experience once I am ever so grateful to have started with my friend, Jill at our school.....
