It's coming. The calendar says spring is here, even if the weather isn't always spring-like. Luckily, the signs of spring bloom in April: brighter colors, new growth and busy insects are all evidence of spring. And so is poetry! April is National Poetry Month! It was created in 1996, and has now become the largest literary celebration in the world. There are many ways to participate in this expressive event, in fact the Academy of American Poets offers 30 Ways to Celebrate, like memorizing a poem or writing one of your own. Click the link to explore more options!
​

In the spirit of National Poetry Month, challenge your student to write a poem about the sights, smells and sounds of the changing season! Spring brings new possibilities to be experienced by all the senses. Like the smell of the air after it rains, the sound of birds singing or the sight of leaves budding on the trees. There certainly is a lot to take in this time of year. ​

TLC's Spring Break Reading Challenge

3/20/2019

0 Comments

 
Any child who spends weeks without reading is likely to experience some loss of their reading skills. Planning activities that include reading and writing not only helps negate reading loss, but also makes for some fun spring break memories. To prevent a spring break slide, keep reading during your time away from school and TLC.

Spring break bonus tip: Get rewarded for reading with TLC’s Spring Break Reading Challenge! We want to challenge all of our students to read at least 20 minutes per day for the break. Track your progress using the attached sheet (below).
 Turn it into a TLC staff member between April 8th and April 11th to win a prize from the TLC Prize Box!
