93 Parents and children attend our Build A Book night...

 A fun-filled evening was enjoyed by parents, students and staff who attended the Matheson Park Family Reading Night on February 12^th. Bronwyn Jones, our new kindergarten teacher, “kicked off” the activities with an informative presentation about Dialogic Reading.  According to Ms. Jones, this kind of reading involves “taking turns in a conversation with a child about a familiar book.”    

During the remainder of the evening children (and their parent/s) enjoyed writing and designing their own take home book.  Individual kits to “build – a – book” were all donated by our generous PTA.   

Winners of the 3 door prizes included:  Sierra Williford-Archuletta, Noah Chacon and Mekal Toledo.  Sierra won the game “So You Think You’re Smarter Than A 5^th Grader; Noah, the game of “Clue;” and Mekal, a valentine Teddy Bear, which he immediately gave to his younger sister, Domynyck.  What a sweet brother!!!  In addition, 31 lucky students were able to choose a free book for their home library. 

I’m certain everyone will agree this was one of our BEST Family Reading Nights ever.   A huge thank you to our Literacy Committee,Title I, and PTA for making this wonderful event all happen!!!!
