This week the Sonntag students will celebrate Children's Book Week! There are fun activities planned for students and teachers to enjoy. Students will not only get to visit the library for a special, grade-specific read-aloud but they will also have the opportunity to read outside, participate in drawings for new books, as well as hear a mystery book read by me, Mrs. Mattei, during "Mrs. Mattei's Masterpiece Theater!" 

Today's Sonntag Celebrates Children's Book Week activities included the announcement of the 2nd annual bookmark contest winners as well as "Read Across Sonntag." The students truly enjoyed these activities. Check out the winners of the bookmark contest:

The winners of the bookmark contest received a brand new book, bookmark, as well as had their original bookmark creations copied for the students across Sonntag. Also, check out some pictures from "Read Across Sonntag:" 

Happy reading! :)
