Read Across America Day

I hope you are having a great week. Friday is Read Across America Day. In celebration of this day, the 5th grade teachers are dressing up as characters from the beloved children’s book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We would like to invite our students to participate in the fun. All 5th graders are invited to dress up as the most memorable characters from the book, the Oompa Loompas. There are many DIY ideas for this costume on Pinterest and Google. There are also wigs and green hairspray on sale for cheap at Target in the dollar spot and at Party City due to the approaching St. Patrick’s Day holiday. I will purchase some white tape that we can use to make the suspenders for the shirts if your child would like to bring in a brown shirt to prepare for the costume on Thursday or Friday.

If your child would like to dress up as a different book character, that is perfectly fine. Please be sure to send in the book associated with the costume.

Let me know if you have any questions! As always, thank you for your support. I will get a group picture to share with all of you on Friday.
