Dear Royal Oak School,

We are excited to announce the approach of Canadian Children’s Literature Week at ROS during the week of May 6, 2019 - May 10, 2019. We have planned a variety of exciting activities to encourage and engage students in a love of literature. Each day of the week will have a special theme, as well as daily DEARs (Drop Everything And Read). The week will go as follows:

Monday, May 6th: Wear Royal Oak Blue Spirit Day - Let's spread community spirit! On the first day of Literacy Week, we encourage everyone to wear their Royal Oak Blue! Ms. Bradbury and Ms. Sparks will be joining various classes to read!

Tuesday, May 7th: Spring Into Reading Day - Spring is here, let’s welcome it! On the second day of Literacy Week, we want to see spring colours. Wear your Spring Colours and Spring outfits. Ms. Bradbury and Ms. Sparks will be joining various classes to read!

Wednesday, May 8th: Grow a Royal Reader Day - We are exalted to announce Grow a Royal Reader Day. On the third day of Literacy week, we encourage you to dress like royalty. Students will continue to celebrate reading and Spring with a royal planting session. Don’t forget to dig out your favourite royal outfit and dress like a Knight, Princess, Prince, King, Queen or Jester!

Thursday, May 9th: Cosy Up To A Book Day - Nothing beats cozying up to a good book in your pajamas! On the fourth day of Literacy week, we ask you to wear you favourite pajamas to school. As well, students will be visited by a guest author, Pamela McDowell.

Friday, May 10th: Dress Like Your Favourite Character Day - We want to find out who your favourite character is. On the fifth day of Literacy week, we ask that you please dress up like your favourite character. Please come to school already dressed up and bring your matching book to spread the love of our favourite books. Classes will get together with their buddy classes and teachers will share their all-time favourite books.
