Asa G. Hilliard Elementary School Literacy Day Celebration
Monday, March 02 2020
Asa G. Hilliard Elementary School is hosting a Literacy Day Celebration
in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Dr. Seuss contributed many books that have brought about excitement
and a love for reading in our children.
We want to instill in our students the importance of being lifelong
readers and show them how much fun that reading can bring, and, “Oh, the Places They Will Go!”
The school has several activities planned for “Dr. Seuss’ Week”. Throughout the week, students will
participate in a live chat with students from another elementary school in Fulton County to discuss a
novel that they both have read. They will compare and contrast characters, point of view, and analyze
and evaluate the plot and theme.
This day of exemplifying the joy and fun of reading will be held on Monday, March 2, 2020 from 8:30
A.M. – 11:00 A.M. at Asa G. Hilliard Elementary School.
The school is looking for volunteers to be readers. You will read a book to one or more classes. This should take no more than 15-20 minutes per book. The books will be available for you once you arrive. You will have time to become familiar with
your book before going to the class.
Please sign up by 3pm Monday, February 24, 2020
