D.E.A.R Day
It is a tradition at Keystone Montessori School, that on Valentine’s Day, the elementary children Drop Everything And Read. Students come to school in pajamas, with some favorite books, a stuffed animal, pillow, and cozy blankets.
They spend the day reading.
It is a treat to spend the whole day reading (with a break for lunch, of course). This year, we invited parents and teachers to drop in and read aloud to children. The students loved this special treat.
Try it at home sometime with your family: a day of reading. Even designate one evening for reading, and enjoy snuggling up together on the couch, or in the bed, and red (silently or aloud). It’s a real pleasure.
