For 13 years, World Read Aloud Day has called attention to the importance of sharing stories by challenging participants to grab a book, find an audience, and read-aloud! The global effort, created by the non-profit LitWorld and sponsored by Scholastic, is celebrated annually in over 173 countries and is all about bringing people together through the shared connection of reading aloud in all of our communities. Check out the website for supporting materials such as a virtual kit and opportunities for for live, interactive read-aloud shows.
In January we focussed on STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering,Ars and Math) activities in order to gear up for our Mountain View Science Fair.
