Communities In Schools of Charlotte Mecklenburg, Inc的动态

We love this idea from CIS Site Coordinator Sheridan Lowery at Winterfield Elementary School! As #BlackHistoryMonth came to a close and #ReadAcrossAmerica Week began (this week), Ms. Lowery organized an African-American "Read-In" at Winterfield. She invited staff from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office, and Charlotte Mecklenburg Library to visit classrooms and read books to students by Black authors, featuring Black or Brown characters or Black history and culture. The "Read-In" was a big hit for the students and volunteers alike! It's important to develop a love of reading early on, and one of the best ways to engage kids is to share books with characters and storylines that students can relate to or see themselves in. What a great idea to tie Black History Month and Read Across America Week together! ???? And thank you to our friends at CMPD, the Sheriff's Office, and CM Library for participating! #earlyliteracymatters #ilovetoread
