Dear GSP families, Why are YOU reading?
Is it to gain information, for enjoyment, to be close to the person you are reading to?
Especially when reading with children we can experience all three reasons at once - and now that the days get shorter and sports schedules hopefully less crazy, why not find a cozy spot at home and read together? Our students have many opportunities throughout the week to read in class and in the library. When I walk by our library and see our students reading, I often pause what I'm doing for just a moment. The highlight for many 5th graders and kindergartners, for example, is to read together on Fridays. They often form a lasting bond beyond their years here at GSP. Steve McCurry's pictures reminded me of that magical power of reading. Here is the link to his picture gallery: people-reading-around-the-world I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
