Today we participated in Literacy Day activities! We wore our favourite hats for "Hats Off to Reading!" We also went to different stations around the school and participated in a variety of activities. Some activities included: word games, charades, listening centres, comic strips, poetry, word bingo, iPad activities and so much more! Here is what we have to say about our day of literacy!

Family Literacy Day is a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999. It is held each year on January 27 to encourage families to engage in literacy activities together. It is important to take time each day to read or do a learning activity with your child. I encourage you to play a board game such as Boggle or Scrabble, read a book together at bed time or follow and recipe and bake something wonderful!
