Storybook Character Day at Scott Elementary School

What a fun, fun day at school!  We had our first Storybook Character Day.  We encouraged our students to dress up as their favorite storybook character and bring the book with them.  The teachers dressed up, the office staff dressed up, our central administration staff came over in costume, and even our custodian and cafeteria workers dressed up!  The morning began with a storybook character parade.  Throughout the day select students have been awarded free books by random raffle drawings and we have mystery readers coming to read a book to each grade level. The classrooms are full of engaging activities involving the books the students brought to school.  Super fun!  I thought you all might enjoy some pictures of this exciting day at school.

In the Fourth grade pod, we dressed up as the Herdmans, the notorious and mischievous characters from Barbara Robinson's books, The Best School Year Ever, The Best Halloween Ever, and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.  I'm the youngest sister, Gladys, wearing my sign that says "Beware of Gladys" because I bite - teehee!  

Fourth Grade students listening to Mr. Worthy, our superintendent read Duck for President.  He was their mystery reader.

 Our group with Superintendent Kevin Worthy, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, Julia Robinson, and Instructional Technology Coordinator, Zach Snow.
