Family Reading Night
By Carrie in WV

Clip to ScrapBook   
I am organizing a Reading Night on November 18, in conjunction with National Children's Book Week. I am also a professional storyteller, so we are starting out our evening with me telling Appalachian stories (our principal
is joining me, which should be hilarious) and then after refreshments, we are going to have stations. We have each class preparing a book gift basket with various themes (spa, cooking, gifts in a jar, etc.) and those will be a part of the silent auction. Each class will keep proceeds to buy books for their classroom library. We are going to have a "make and take" bookmark station,
a book exchange, a contest (guessing teacher's baby pictures "Look Who Grew Up loving Books"), a perpetual story station where you can come and help write a story (decorated like a big fairytale storybook)...Hope this helps you with ideas. I am new to the school and they have never done anything like this before. I hope everyone gets a vision of the evening---it could be really awesome.
