Families were encouraged to submit photos of how they incorporate literacy at home. We were reminded that literacy is everywhere. Literacy can be found in cooking, music, art, games, physical activity, and more. We were also reminded that literacy is FUN!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-59093\" src=\"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2023-Literacy-SJD-02.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"278\" \/>To celebrate, we had many special guests in the school. Alan Crawford helped us celebrate Burns\u2019 Day. If you\u2019re unfamiliar, Robert (Rabbie) Burns is a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is known as the National Poet of Scotland. Alan, born and raised in Scotland, came to read some of Burns\u2019 poetry to us and share with us a little about himself and his country\/culture. His visit not only included story and poetry reading but also Scottish shortbread and tea. It was a real treat! The students were of course mesmerized by his traditional attire and Scottish accent. We appreciate that Alan took the time to come in and share his heritage with us, especially with this year\u2019s Literacy Week theme being, \u201cCelebrate Your Heritage\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We were also fortunate to have Adam Bertrand come in and share his talent of music with us. His performance included a guitar, a harmonica, a drum, and of course his voice! Adam has visited the school before, and we really hope he will visit again. The students (and staff) were captivated by Adam\u2019s performance. Music is evidently a natural gift of his and we thoroughly enjoyed him sharing it with us!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-59094\" src=\"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2023-Literacy-SJD-01.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" \/>Exposing your child to literacy rich environments and experiences is invaluable.
