Riverside Elementary second-graders in Christina Mann’s class show off their stuffed animals during Right to Read Week, where the theme was “Wild About Reading” celebrated from Feb. 27-March 3. The week was organized by the Partnership for Literacy Committee. A reading challenge was extended to all the students to read 10 books or for 60 minutes during the week, along with other special activities. Throughout the week, pupils were instructed to listen for the animal sound over the announcements and then were to “Stop, Drop, and Read.” All teachers then read a selected book to their class. To culminate the week, the building finished up with “Where in the World is Riverside Elementary” and each grade explored their continent’s wild animals. (RIVERSIDE SCHOOLS PHOTO)
