RANDALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL children launch headlong into dinosaurs

Randall Elementary School’s theme for March is Reading Month this year was “Dino-rific Reading!”

This year Randall participated in "One School, One Book" for the fifth time. 


The entire school, including staff, read “The Enormous Egg” by Oliver Butterworth. Every night throughout March, students read a chapter at home. The next morning at school, they had a trivia question on that chapter. With Easter being early this year, the students did read a couple chapters over a few weekends. Names were drawn for prizes on those who answered the question correctly. 

“The Enormous Egg” is a story about a young boy Nate Twitchell, who hatches an egg and gets an Enormous surprise. It is a Triceratops. This Triceratops' name is Uncle Beazley and there is a statue in the National Zooological Park in Washington, D.C., of him (at top).


Randall started the month with an assembly and dinosaur prints on the hallway wall (Student's wondered how they got there). They ended the month with everyone enjoying the story and learning a lot about dinosaurs!
