Shelton's Book Fair...More than Just Reading!

"The more you read the more things you know. The more that you learn the more places you'll go."

-Dr. Seuss

 

Every year, Shelton Elementary hosts its annual "Sir Readalot's Castle Book Fair." This year's fair just wrapped up. But we all know not everyone loves to read, right? In today's world filled with television, smartphones and video games, how do you make quietly sitting down with a book more appealing? Shelton's media specialist, Cathy Mattocks, gets her students involved.

Prior to the book fair's opening day, Ms. Mattocks issues three challenges: a reading, an art, and a writing challenge. And students take these challenges seriously!

Check out some of the creations the students made for this year's art challenge.

Aren't they creative? Awesome job!
