S’More reading at D.F. Walker Elementary School
School holds first Family
Reading Night
BY NICOLE BYRD-PHELPS
For Chowan Herald
With the opening of the
Scholastic Book Fair the
previous week, plus Book
Character Day on Hal
loween, the timing to em
phasize the joy of reading
was en pointe. While sign
ing in, D. F. Walker Ele
mentary School parents
and students could hear
Schroeder from the
Peanuts gang tickling the
ivories in the lobby.
Schroeder (aka Nicole
Byrd-Phelps) represented
the book, It’s The Great
Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
After a hot dog supper,
students and parents jour
neyed to three different
“campsites” in the S’more
Reading Compound for a
read aloud. The third-grade
site had comfy beanbag
chairs and a simulated fire
crackling in the back
ground. Third-grade
teacher Jennifer Hoggard
was taking her turn read
ing aloud A Camping Spree
With Mr. Magee. As you
can imagine, there was a
lot of rhyming going on in
that book. A neat shadow
puppet activity was in
cluded in this rotation. The
fourth-grade site featured
teachers Kristie Williams
and Autumn Ginn toasting
marshmallows outside the
room while Jeanne Am
brose was inside, reading
aloud the book, Toasting
Marshmallows. The stu
dents present were sent off
with a winter reading chal
lenge, urging them to read
10 books in creative ways
and to document their
reading by writing it on a
marshmallow template
that will be glued to a hot
chocolate template. When
they read all 10 books, they
can bring in the hot choco
late template to exchange
for D.F. Walker dollars. The
fifth-grade site warned ev
eryone not to feed the
bears as you entered “the
camp.” Fifth-grade teacher
B.B. Halstead read aloud
Don’t Feed The Bear to
students and parents scat
tered among desks and
comfy furniture. The stu
dents and parents also had
a make-and-take memoiy
game that focused on the
good character traits em
bedded in the story.
The book fair was open
for business that night and
was included in the rotation
of sites. Volunteers assisted
media center coordinator
Sarah Taylor in tallying up
purchases and helping par
ents and students find inter
esting books and related
items. The book fair was a
big success, as usual.
When students left the
S’more Reading Camp,
they had compiled the in
gredients to make a s’more
of their own. That was the
reward for going to each
rotation. What else would
you expect at Camp
