At Yavneh, we don’t just celebrate reading during the one week a year designated as Reading Week, we celebrate our love of reading all year round. This week gave us an opportunity to pause, and dedicate our love of reading a little bit differently.
We welcomed wonderful mystery readers into our classrooms, invited esteemed guest authors to join our classes on Zoom and in-person, held a book fair at Hickelbees with the YPA, visited our amazing local library, dressed up as our favorite book characters. Tomorrow we will get cozy in our pajamas and snuggle up with books and a special treat from the YPA. It’s been a magical week of celebration and learning.
Our wonderful guest authors generously donated their time and for that we are grateful. Check out some of their incredible books here. Purchasing books from these authors is just one way we show our appreciation for their literature and their time.
