Mapleton 1st Quarter Reading Celebration

The Mapleton elementary students took part in their first quarterly reading celebration of the year on October 27. The K-5 students gathered in the library and the fifth graders, under the direction of Mrs. Dougherty, kicked off the event with a lively reading of “There was an old lady who swallowed a bat” by Lucille Colandro. Mrs. Renner’s fourth graders shared several fun examples of a classroom project, titled “What should our teacher be for Halloween?” Mrs. O’Neal’s fourth graders presented a readers’ theater of “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” by Charles Schulz. It was interesting to note how many of our students had seen this show or read the book before. Following the student presentations, Mrs. Oberreuter announced all of the reading awards and some new things going on in the library.
