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!
