Hello Parents,
This week is Celebrate Literacy Week for all of Elementary. We are going to be doing A LOT of fun things to celebrate and enjoy reading this week. The one thing I want to talk to you about is that on Wednesday we are doing Dress As a Book Character Day and we will have a parade to show the school our costumes! The costume that your student wears to school needs to be a character from a book that they know about. This is not Halloween, so Halloween costumes are not acceptable. The costume MUST be of a character from a book! These will most likely be costumes that you will need to make on your own rather than just buy from the store. Please either send the book that the character is from to school or send a print out of the cover of the book so that your student can share the book with the class. Also, on Wednesday we have P.E. so the costume should be something that they can wear and still be able to participate in P.E. Of course, dressing up is optional. If your student decides not to dress up, then they need to come to school in proper uniform attire.
Characters like Ben Ten, Spongebob, Lightning McQueen are not acceptable. A general rule could be that if it was a book before it was a show or movie then it is fine. But if it was a movie before it was a book, then it is not acceptable. I have listed some ideas to help below.
Thanks for helping with bring our book characters to life and for supporting and helping celebrate literacy with your children!
Some ideas:
--The Cat in the Hat
--Arthur or D.W. from the Arthur books
--Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Cat in the Hat
--Curious George
--Dora
--Rapunzel
--Characters from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (Charlie, Violet, Oompa Loompa)
--Max or a Wild Thing from Where the Wild Things Are
--Little Red Riding Hood
--Disney Princesses
--Characters from The Wizard of Oz
--Horton from Horton Hears a Who
--The Lorax
--Tacky the Pengiun
--Pecos Bill
--The Very Hungry Caterpillar
--Winnie the Pooh Characters
--David from the David books (No, David!)
--Any Dr. Seuss Characters (Red Fish, Blue Fish, Sneetches, Cindy Lou Who, The Grinch, Ten Apples Up on Top, Sam I am)
*****For more ideas, you can do a Google search for "Dress as a book character day ideas" or "Dr. Suess Dress Up Ideas" or anything along those lines. There are TONS of ideas out there! ****
