  • Hey Staff....

    This is for you, too! You can also help support your students by participating in the following:

    • Staff Twitter contest - 
      • Tag us #BannedBooksWeek #khsall
      • Tweet out pics of students reading, videos of read-alouds, statements supporting literacy/reading and students' right to read. Make it a goal to tweet every day.
      • At the end of the week, we'll do a check to see who had the most tweets (retweeting your students' literacy tweets counts).
    • Provide DEAR (drop everything and read) time in place of journal time
      • This can be content-related!
      • Need something for your students? See the articles below.
      • Try for at least one day where students can read what they choose.
    • Record a Flipgrid video about why you read banned books to go on our wall. Contact a librarian for details.
