This week we will be celebrating World Read Aloud Day. On Wednesday, I will be meeting with each grade level to read aloud a special book I chose just for them. Sharing stories is one of my favorite things, and I’m excited for East Hanover to join students in over 137 countries in celebrating reading on this day.
