Joshua Dixon students excited about “Right to Read Week”
COLUMBIANA — Stop, drop and read! That’s exactly what students at Joshua Dixon Elementary did during “Right to Read Week” held Feb. 5-9.
Along with reading at school, students were asked to read 20 minutes a night for the entire week. The school’s goal was to read for 40,000 minutes or more. The goal of the week was to get students excited about reading.
“Through reading, students expose themselves to new things, new information, new ways to solve a problem and new ways to achieve one thing,” said Courtney Schiffauer, Joshua Dixon Elementary Teacher. “Reading is the foundation to all subjects students are exposed to in school.”
Joshua Dixon’s theme for the week was camping with several camping-related activities held. A “pretend campfire” was set up in one classroom, enabling students to “read around the fire.” – Submitted material
