 | Literacy Cafe |
|
Hi everyone, Last week at Pelican Falls, our leadership class (and Desta) helped me put on a literacy cafe. It was an idea that Desta had tried a couple of years ago and we thought we'd give it another go. Starbucks generously donated coffee and cups to the event, and the leadership class baked a ton of goodies. We had different literacy-based stations for the kids to enjoy. One area was filled with magazines and books for students to read, another area had a Friends dvd playing with the sound off and subtitles on (this was really successful). We also had a Wii Wheel of Fortune station and a board game area with Boggle, Scrabble, and bananagrams. The cafe was a great success and the students were all actively participating in the literacy stations. It was a great way to make literacy FUN! If you're looking for a way to engage your school in literacy this may be something to try! Darby |
