Family Reading Rally at Cerro Gordo Elementary
CGES in, conjunction with Reading First and the counseling program, hosted a
Family Reading Rally on May 17th with approximatly 150 parents, teachers and
students in attendance. Family members were provided with information on
essential reading components, actively participated in the CGES Reading
First K-3 supplemental reading computer program, played jump rope rhymes and
other reading games, and enjoyed a book walk and a Scholastic Book Fair.
The highlight of the evening was a Book Character Scavenger Hunt where
students had to locate live book characters throughout the school and
identify them by matching book information provided. A few of the special
guests were: Clifford the Big Red Dog, Curious George, Pink Panther,
Chamelon, The Principal in his new clothes, and the Jester. We hope this
will become an annual event as a great time was had by all.
