I like to start the school year with an all school activity that brings us together as readers. Last year, we took the Reading Without Walls Challenge created by Gene Luen Yang. This year, we are participating in the Reading = HOPE x CHANGE movement created by Jacqueline Woodson, novelist, poet, and the 2018-2019 National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. According to the Reading = HOPE x CHANGE activity kit, Jacqueline Woodson invites everyone "to join her in exploring books for knowledge, growth and for fun. Books and stories to read, discuss, and share. She has created a new reading equation - Reading = HOPE x CHANGE and asks you to have fun answering, What's Your Equation?"
Students in grades 2-5, staff and parents are being asked to create their reading equations. We will share them on the bulletin board outside of the library. Here are some equations we have generated so far:
Reading = Dreaming x Freedom, 5th grader
Reading = Passion x Late Bedtimes, 5th grader
Reading = Unicorns x Fun, 2nd grader
Reading = Epic x Cool, 2nd grader
Reading = Adventure + Fun - Boredom, Miss Rogers
Reading = Curiosity x Connections, Mrs. Scott
So tell us, "What's your equation?"
