Lynbrook Public Schools students in each elementary school building became reading rockstars as they completed numerous literacy-themed challenges during Pick a Reading Partner week from March 4-8.

PARP returns to Lynbrook Schools each year with engaging initiatives that get students excited about reading both inside and outside the classroom. At home, students read “Pizza and Taco Rock Out” by Stephen Shaskan with their parents. Students brainstormed questions for Mr. Shaskan, who made a virtual visit to students on March 12. Submitting questions also entered students into a raffle for prizes, including gift cards for local eateries and a skating session at Newbridge Arena. Throughout the week, students also followed daily themes, such as dressing up like rockstars or making a visit to the public library.

As a culminating project for their non-fiction reading unit, second graders at Waverly Park researched a topic of their choice. Using multiple sources, they spent weeks becoming experts, learning facts about their topics and vocabulary that went along with it. They practiced their presentation skills and shared what they learned in an Expert Museum on Feb. 8! #OwlProud #OwlLearns
