Drop Everything And Read (DEAR)
Check out all the ways that MES is building a Literacy Rich School Environment for our amazing Marlins!
Zoom into Reading
Mrs. Aguon and Ms. Leppert's 1st grade and Kindergarten classes, respectively, ZOOMED into READING with Mrs. Perez' GATE PreK class for October D.E.A.R. time. Mrs. Perez read the story "I want to Eat your Books" by Karin Lefranc, a story about a Zombie who wanted eat all the books at the school, but then ended wanting to READ THE BOOKS! The students then participated in a Monster Move dance to celebrate Halloween!
Readers on a Roll
Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Leppert, started a Rolling Book cart so that students are able to access books during morning and lunch recess. The growing collection of books for all grade levels are donated by faculty and staff. Our wonderful Teacher Assistants also take time during recess for read-alouds to groups of children who take breaks from playing to enjoy a good story.
