A to Zirilli: Successful Reading Week and a Talent Show!

We had another amazing week at SOS. We took part in Reading Week, Ricas practice, and finished it off with an awesome Talent Show put on by so many talented students. We have some very talented children and our very own Mrs. Fullerton and Mrs. Sanchez did an incredible job putting this all together. Our very own Ms Gambardella also put together some fun reading week activities that we participated in.

Our week began with the kickoff by Mr. Pacitto. He read I Promise by Lebron James to the entire school body. This book was a great way to open our week to the theme of Strive for Greatness...Read! We had listened to Mystery Readers, High School Students and took part in Reading Buddies with the Kindergarteners. There was also a grafitti wall set up in the main hallway for all of us to write why we read and why reading is important. The pictures below captured most of the week's events.

Ms. Gambardella was our guuest author and read her book to the 4th graders. The week was filled with lots of activities and the children took part in all of them. Our class read to kindergarten and I captured some of the cutest reading buddies.

Our students also took part in STAR Reading Time at the end of each day. They chose a book, a comfy spot anywhere in the room and read for at least 20 minutes each afternoon. I love to see children with books in their hands.

Along with our Reading Week festivities we continued to practice for RICAS and in our Wonders curriculum we read a story about the moon landing. Our Live Wax Museum project will cover our Social Studies curriculum for a good part of the trimester and we are continuing with Animal Adaptations in Amplify Science. All wonderful things taking place and lots of work is happening at SOS. We are up to the challenge and doing our very best.

We ended our week with an Out of This World Talent Show

We were all treated to wonderful performers from Kindergarten all the way up to our 5th graders. There was singing, dancing, gymnastics, rubix cube competition, and so many more acts. The dedication and hard work was evident in all the acts. Kudos to Mrs. Fullerton and Mrs. Sanchez for putting it all together.
