We Love to Read Book Drive!

We Love to Read!

Let’s Share the Experience with Others!

After much consideration towards what reading challenge our class would do for WSBT’s I Love to Read Challenge, we have decided to focus on the “love to read” aspect. We discussed our passion, simple like or, in some rare cases, dislike for reading and how important reading is.

Our complete focus for WSBT’s I Love to Read Challenge is to learn to enjoy reading in various ways. We will have celebrity readers, including parents, grandparents, other teachers and community members. We will watch videos of our favorite authors and even some new authors reading us their stories. We will take a deeper look into familiar books and explore the surface of new adventures. We will learn to look at a book in a different light.

In addition to expanding on our love for reading, the Second Grade Class is holding a book drive! The Second Graders researched several different organizations who take book donations for various causes. After looking into them, we voted on our favorite organization. We have decided to collect books to donate to Books For Africa!

When asked why they wanted to donate books, students responded with several amazing reasons. Here are just a few…

“We want to give people a chance to read.”

“We want to let others experience the joy of reading.”

“The few books they do have are all damaged, torn or old.”

“Books are amazing! I want everyone to know that.”

“God teaches us to share. We should share our books with others.”

Please donate your gently used books to
