Hip Hip Hooray, It’s A Great Day To Read!

Wednesday afternoon, our students went to the gymnasium for our regular Wednesday special. Mrs. Plow’s taught the students about growing a sunflower. Afterward the students were able to plant their own sunflower seeds.  The students were surprised with a special reward from the New York Road Runners Club and its Mighty Milers program following the seed planting.

The NYRR sent our school 100 books that our students worked very hard to earn during the month of March. (Please see previous post on our Mighty Milers achievements.) The students split into groups of three and went through the boxes to discover all different kinds of books.  All of our staff and students read some of the books, and we loved sharing the illustrations on each page. Below is a list of some of the titles that our Pathfinder School Library received.  I've also included some pictures of our students reading and others who received incentives for their miles walked/ran.

"Sugar Plum Ballerinas" by Whoopi Goldberg
 "Toy Story 3 Mix and Match" by Disney,Pixar
 "Spider-Man" adapted by Richard Thomas Jr. 

"My Funny Valentine: Phineas and Ferb" by Jon Colton Barry 
"Winnie The Pooh: Pooh’s Honey Trouble" by Disney 
"Jake And The Spyglass" by Malinda La Rose

"Rapunzel: A Day to Remember" by Helen Perelman
 "Toy Story 3: Meet The Gang" by Disney, Pixar



Everyone at Pathfinder School would like to thank NYRR and Mighty Miler’s for providing such a phenomenal program and opportunity for students to exercise their bodies and their brains!  We love our books and cannot wait to start reading them in our library and classrooms!
