Literacy Week at NBE!





Last week we celebrated all things Reading! We kicked off our annual Literacy Week with a book character dress up parade on Monday morning. We had a ton of our students participate by dressing up as their favorite book character. The entire school lined the bus loop and cheered on all of the students who came dressed in character. This set the tone for a fun week at NBE. On Tuesday we created our favorite book cover posters, which are proudly displayed in the halls. Wednesday was the "book swap;" followed by a visit by a celebrity reader on Thursday morning. Our celebrity reader was Miss Teen Jacksonville, Michon Pride, who read a fun story to the students. At the end of the book, the students had a chance to ask Michon any question they wanted. We had several girls quite interested in what a beauty pageant is like and how they can become Miss Teen themselves. On Friday we polished off our week of Literacy with a storyteller assembly, where Kaye Bryne shared one of her stories with the students. All in all it was a great week to get fired up about READING!!
