This Week at WMES
Week of January 20-24, 2025
Dear WMES families:
Our January can be found here.
January 27 is Family Literacy Day
Did you know? January 27 is Family Literacy Day! This special day is meant to raise awareness about the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family.
This year’s theme is “Learn to be Green, Together!” Make a pledge as a family to learn ways to be greener. Use less electricity, commute together, and reuse items. Being green together is a fun way to learn as a family while being kind to the environment.
To get ready for Family Literacy Day next week we have declared this week: Literacy Week at WMES!
Monday- “Read my shirt” Day
We’ll also be doing flashlight reading in the gym. Bring a flashlight if you can.
Tuesday- “Poem in my Pocket” Day
Share your favorite poem with us today
Wednesday- Bring your favorite book to share with a friend today.
More Flashlight reading in the gym.
Thursday- Thankful Thursday - We are going to write positive notes to share with our School Community today!
Friday - It’s Comfy/ Cozy Reading Day today. Wear your comfy clothes today and maybe bring a stuffie or blanket for some cozy reading time today. (PJ’s, or whatever you feel comfiest in)
