A book is like a garden carried in the pocket. – Chinese proverb
April is reading month at our school! We are celebrating the completion of a generous inner city school grant from Chapters/Indigo that helped our school enrich our classroom libraries, and school resources. We will celebrate literacy in our school community during an evening of singing, dancing, reading, and food! The young knitters will yarn bomb the library, and share their expertise. We will all show up for school in our pajamas on another day for Camp Read. Adult knitting students from the Working Hands Fibre Arts Studio are sharing their time with Grade 2 students at the end of April. Brenda of Penelope Fibre Arts, and Sheila of Sheila Christie Studios, are sopranos with Vancouver Opera. They will join us at school to share how reading has helped them in their work, then sing to us, in their beautiful costumes. Tris Hussey, technologist, blogger, and author, will visit Grades 5 and 6 and inspire! What’s growing in your garden?
