Literacy Week May 30 – June 3

Dear families,

Abroad’s annual Literacy Week is May 30 – June 3. This year, we want to make Literacy Week bigger and better than ever!  We really want to promote literacy skills and the love of reading in all of the school’s languages!
We have planned some special activities that we would like to inform you about.  First, we would like to ask you to take a photo of your child reading a book.  They can read a book in any language.  The photo can be taken while reading with a friend, family member, or alone. It can be serious or silly.  Please print your child’s photo on printer paper or photo paper and send it to school with your child’s name on it.  We would like to have a picture of every student by Friday, May 27th.  We will be displaying the photos on each floor in the entryway during Literacy Week.
Next, we would like to invite guests to come to the classroom to read their favorite stories to the class.  Guests can read in English or Japanese (Infants – Grade 5) and in Turkish (Grade 3-5).  Please email your child’s teacher if you are interested in being a guest reader during Literacy Week.
Third, we would like all of the parents to share in our Literacy Week learning.  Each class will display a special project that the students created to help celebrate literacy.  Parents are invited to come and see these projects.  Here is the schedule and location for each class display:
  •        Preschool, PreK, and Kinder – Tuesday, May 31st,15:20-16:00, 10th floor
  •        Infants and Toddlers – Wednesday, June 1st, 15:20-16:00,  5th floor
  •        Primary School – Thursday, June 2nd, 15:20 -16:00,  10th floor
Fourth, in celebration of the famous children’s author Dr. Seuss, we are going to make Literacy Week a spirit week. Each day, children can dress up to celebrate the spirit of Dr. Seuss and his love of books.  Here is the schedule:
  • Monday – Cat in the Hat (Wear Stripes)
  • Tuesday – The Lorax Day (Wear a Mustache)
  • Wednesday – Thing One and Thing Two (Crazy Hat and Crazy Hair)
  • Thursday – Fox in Sox (Wear Crazy or Mismatched Socks or Shoes)
  • Friday – Cozy Up with Your Favorite Book (Wear Pajamas)
Last, we would like to hold a book drive during Literacy Week.  If your family has any new or gently used books in English, Japanese, or Turkish that you would like to donate to the school, this would be a great time!  By donating books no longer needed by your family, many children will have the opportunity to read new stories!  Thank you for your donation!
Thank you for your assistance and we look forward to celebrating literacy with your child and family!
