Glen Allen Elementary
is pleased to announce that we are participating in One School, One Book, to read a book together! The book reveal for students will be Tuesday, Jan. 7th when we return from our SNOW Break!
Participating in a school-wide reading program such as “One School One Book” helps build a community of readers and a sense of belonging within our school. Families reading together help children listen better and longer, build bigger vocabularies, and develop a positive attitude about books and learning. Reading professionals recommend that families read aloud to children even when they are able to read by themselves. When an entire school reads together, it generates excitement about reading and being part of a fun program and community!
Our goal as a school is to focus on the Henrico Learner Profile skills of collaboration, global citizenship, and building quality character!
Each family will receive 1 copy of ??????? and a bookmark with the reading schedule when we return from our SNOW days. Reading of this book will occur AT HOME. It is not required that students participate nor will there be any assignments in the classroom related to the book. This is simply a fun event to encourage reading together. We look forward to reading and an exciting culminating event, STREAM NIGHT on February 13th.
