If you were on campus this past Tuesday, you may have seen excited Kindergarten through 6th grade students walking quickly (trying very hard not to run) from class-to-class as they enjoyed our very first Library Celebration event of the school year: Round Robin Reading.

For this activity, the regular school day pauses for 30 minutes as students and teachers gather together to enjoy a wonderful story or picture book together. Each class began with their own teacher in their own classroom. After about 10 minutes, each class moved on to enjoy a story from a different teacher in a different classroom. Isla Z. and her class first went to Mrs. Matsuda’s 4th grade classroom. “I love the books!” she said. After her class visited Mr. Bennie, fifth grader Jenaley H. said, “I like visiting other teacher’s classrooms and listening to other teachers read to us.”

With one more 10-minute rotation to go, students made their way to their last story time with another teacher. When asked what they liked about Round Robin Reading, Jack H. said, “Running!” while classmate Jett P. said, “We get to listen to fun stories!”

Once again this annual tradition was well-loved and enjoyed by all!
