Countrywood PTA is proud to participate once again in NYS PTA's Pick a Reading Partner (PARP) program. "Saddle Up and Read!" is the theme for this year's PARP Week (2/4-2/8/19) at Countrywood. PARP is a statewide program with the goal of inspiring Parents and Reading Partners to read together with their children for at least 15 minutes daily. We hope you find the resource information and ideas in this Blog useful as you get the most out of reading with your child. Enjoy!
What a great first day of PARP at Countrywood! Day 1 has been very busy...
Students, teachers, and staff alike wore something Wild West themed for our first In-School activity, "Howdy, Partner!"
Today's riddle of the day was a good one...what gets bigger the more you take out? Stumped...a hole! The student who submitted the riddle and the class that answered it correctly were awarded prizes.
We had 6 Guest Readers visit during Library Specials including Legislator Berland (16th District - Suffolk County), who before reading spoke to students about her job and local government.
Today's giveaway received by ALL Countrywood students was a door hanger that students can hang on a door at home to let everyone know, "It's time to Saddle Up and Read!".
South Huntington Nutrition Services joined the fun creating a book-inspired menu this week. Today's theme was Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom.
