On Wednesday, Feb. 1, Harry M. Fisher Elementary School celebrated World Read Aloud Day with a special reader, a wonderful book, and lollipops!
Library aides Holly Markwardt and Courtney Crim had recorded our new principal Jessica Bowman reading the book "Not Enough Lollipops." Classroom teachers showed the recording in their classes. Listening to the principal read is special, but the best part? Everyone received a lollipop after, courtesy of the PTSO!
Here at Fisher, we know twhat happens when adults read to children. Parents, grandparents, older siblings, teachers—and even principals—bring stories to life. Reading aloud models the importance of reading and builds a special bond between the listener and the reader.
"One of the most powerful things parents can do for with children is sitting down and sharing a good book," said Mrs. Bowman.
"Grab a book you have at home or visit the public library. Or contact us and we will send home a few great titles. It doesn't need to be long; this book took just five minutes to read. That short time you invest will produce amazing results, for you and your child."
Watch and listen to Mrs. Bowman read "Not Enough Lollipops."
