Reading Theme
“Dig Deep…Reading is the Treasure” is this year’s reading theme that will emphasize how to use reading clues to unlock the treasures you find in books. Just as pirates had to figure out clues on treasure maps to find secret hidden treasures, you will be learning about reading clues and earning treasures for your efforts. We already have a treasure map on display in our library, clues to be uncovered and a large treasure box ready to be opened!
You can earn a variety of secret treasures this year by uncovering the reading clues, using them at home to read each night and turning in your monthly reading calendar. Each quarter, 1,000 minutes of reading earns you a trip to the treasure box! I am challenging each of our students to read and participate in our reading program this year. In the end, you will find that the secret treasure hidden in many different books is new knowledge.
To help Sharon Elementary be the best school in the world requires everyone to respect each other. We need to all create a beautiful school by cleaning up after ourselves, completing our work so that we are proud of our efforts, and treating each and every person the way we want to be treated. Everyone will be making good deed bead markers this year and will use them to remind ourselves to be kind and polite, which will also help make this a wonderful school year!
Below is an acrostic poem to remind you about making this school year a real treasure!
DIG DEEP…
Responsible for your own actions
Enjoy sharing your ideas politely and listen to others’ ideas
Act kindly toward others
Decide to make good decisions and stick to them
Invite others to play
Never give up…ask questions if you need help
Give your best on all your assignments
IS THE
Take time every day to learn, relax and count your blessings
Read every day and think about what you read
Examine your work and see how to improve it
Always remember to look for the good in others
Stop and think before you act
Understand that learning begins with asking questions
Remember to keep your materials/desk neat and organized
Expect the best year ahead by having a positive attitude
-- Mrs. Marzullo, Principal
