Daily Heart Print - Day 16 - Bookmarks for Readers

 Books, Books, Books!
 More Books!
 Books all ready to go!
 
324 BOOKS!!!! The children in Mrs. Mayer's, Mrs. Ruzic, and my class collected a total of 324 books to donate! The children were beaming at the end of the day....we were all smiles as we left Room 3. 

To add to our big donation we, and with the help of Mrs. Mayer's class, created reading bookmarks for the kids to use while they use the books. 
What is so wonderful about today's "Heart Print" is the bookmarks were not an idea created by me or any other teacher. The idea came from the children. Amazing! Yesterday during our community meeting I asked the children if we should leave a small note or a message for Mrs. Lamb's class. The children all chimed in, "Yes, Yes, Yes!" Quietly, I.K. said, "why don't we give them bookmarks, we always love getting new bookmarks to use." It was silent for a quick second and then everyone at once screams, "Great idea!" 
Today we worked hard on making bookmarks and putting them in a beautifully designed envelope, thanks to S.Z. and M.R. 
Here are a few of the creative sayings the children wrote down:
Reading is good for the brain!
Do you know reading is awesome? It is!
Reading Rocks!
