I was fortunate to be able to attend Ms Teiche's school library event with Hon. Stephen Point. This event was a Coalition-sponsored afternoon celebration of Literacy and School Libraries at Carson Graham in North Vancouver. The Honourable Steven Point spoke to students about the importance of reading. Asked by one what reading had made a difference in his life, His Honour quipped, "Mad Magazine"! In a more serious tone, he talked about the gift of a book that influenced his decision to pursue a career in Law; he was given The Story of My Life by Clarence Darrow.
Thanks to CG TL Jennifer Teiche and FN Educator Brad Baker for their organizing of this event. The Catering Class had prepared a wonderful spread. Exhibits included carving in progress and displays of an upcoming play written in-house and aboriginal "reads" from picture books to novels and non-fiction. What a treat to be invited.
Here's a "snapshot" of what you could have observed in some of our Vancouver schools:
Van Horne experienced a rare silence throughout the school
Henderson featured some readers dressed as favourite storybook characters
Trudeau readers with painted faces listening attentively as firefighters read to them
Tillicum's “the reading train” ran down the entire central hallway, complete with whistle stops and loads of book-talking
Mt Pleasant kicked off One Book, One Class for November and Steve Mulligan did two readings
Weir's guest readers included Maryann Kempthorne, Angela Brown, Gary Little, Denise North, Steve Mulligan, and VPL children's librarian, Noreen Ma
Carr students camped out and read in tents; Steve Mulligan appeared here too for a reading!
Moberly invited Wally Oppal; see the picture with Wally Oppal (see blog, October 27) in the blog archives for October 27
Gladstone has silent reading every morning; they read again in the afternoon and teachers were seen nibbling the same chocolate bars as were featured here in Learning Services and elsewhere (but then a student at Gladstone had designed them, so that made it okay to eat chocolate!)
Tupper students got their heads into the brand new school library books
Templeton stopped everything from 10:30 - 10:50 am, as agreed by Staff Committee, and it worked so well that a number of teachers will be incorporating a stop and read on a more regular basis
Kudos to Diversity Consultant Steve who is a strong supporter of our school libraries and who read six times in five schools ... drive-by reading, we called it!
Sandra Lamont said...... Kinnaird Elementary School in Castlegar, SD20 had 322 students, 27 staff members, Jean Borsa, our District Superintendent, and Bev Maloff, a school board member read.
Approximately 2/3 of classes participated with their teachers (515 students/30 teachers) along with 15 support staff inclusive of office staff and SSAs.
It was encouraging to have several non-Humanities teachers -- Foods, Art and Math for example -- say such positive and supportive things about school-wide silent reading.
Thornhill Elementary in Terrace had 194 students and 15 staff members read for a total of 585 minutes today. We had a DEAR day and it was a great success Cathy Lambright
Approx. 900 students and 40 teaching and support staff joined the administrators to drop everything and read.
Hundreds of students at Kelowna Secondary School dropped their typical academic rigors to celebrate the value of a strong school library by simply reading. In the typically hectic school day, students are always reading. They read from textbooks, teacher handouts, powerpoint presentations, internet web pages, email messages and teacher blogs. We all take the task for granted and forget the core value of the skills these reading episodes provide our youth. Studies over and over again prove that reading is the primary skill youth need to succeed in life- especially our modern information age.
McGirr Elementary in Nanaimo, B.C.- 385 students, 22 staff, several parents, two trustees and two SD #68 senior administration all read together.
