Drop Everything and Read!

DEAR: Drop Everything And Read

All of Christenson Elementary is participating in a fun reading exercise this whole week. Whenever our principal, Mrs. Clark, makes the announcement over the intercom that's it's time to Drop Everything and Read (DEAR), we have to do exactly that, regardless of what we are doing. Whether I am in the middle of teaching a lesson, the students are in the middle of a quiz, or we are watching a video, we have to stop what we are doing and go find a book to read. Yes, even the teachers take this opportunity to read something! This is a fun way to have a break in our schedule every once in a while, as well as a way to promote reading as a fun break from other things.
