Family Reading for Fun!

Help me give my students a fantastic reading night with their teachers, parents and families.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Metoyer's classroom raised $326

My Project

My students love reading. They love when I read to them, and when they read to themselves. Their favorite activity is definitely story time. They love studying different authors and illustrators. One way we can get families more involved in their child's education is family literacy night. They love reading together, listening to stories together, and doing activities based on those stories.

The pencils, erasers, pencil holders and hats will help to enhance the families' literacy night experiences!

I want the students and families to go home talking about the stories they read, and the stories they want to read next. Hopefully, reading together becomes a part of their home life.
