Read Around the World









The theme for Reading Week was read around the world. Each class learned about a different country. Our class learned about Ireland. On Friday other classes were able to visit to find out what we learned. Students were happy sharing information on Ireland's weather, flag, location, history, irish step dancing, clothing, jewelry, Celtic music, Gaelic language, irish folktales, Blarney Stone, and its beautiful landscape. As students left our class they were shown some irish hospitality when they were given a taste of irish soda bread and leprechaun juice. What a great way to end Reading Week!

Reading Week Success


This week was Reading Week and we celebrated with many activities. The children were excited to have Ms. Iacoi visit as a guest reader. She was happy to be back at Charlestown and remembered many of the children from kindergarten.
