Hooray for Digging Day!

This third grader found the first diamond of the day!

We had so much fun during the last day of Reading Week!  Students who brought in their "Mining Maps" and followed all the directions got to participate in "Digging Day" and search for buried treasure!  Everyone who dug through our sand bucket found a gem to keep, and the lucky few who found a rare diamond also got to choose an extra prize.  (Thanks again to our PTO for providing the funds for this terrific activity!)

Just a few of our lucky diamond finders!

 
Mrs. Bartkiewicz and I were absolutely amazed by all the incredible work that was handed in along with the students' mazes.  We have a lot to look through during vacation, and we'll have more prizes to hand out when we come back!  Here are a couple poems for you to enjoy...

 An Acrostic Poem by Nathan C., 3V
Reading is awesome
Endings are happy
Authors write books
Dig Deep into a good book
I love to read
New books, old books
Going to the library
Words are in books
Every book should be cared for
Every book should be read
Keep reading books!

Reading a book is fun,

And when you're done

Get another one!

Some fourth graders show off their new "bling"!
