Sipping and savoring literature in book

Posted

As part of Read Across America Week in March, students at Maurice W. Downing Intermediate School, in Malverne, enjoyed an extra special experience as they were welcomed into book cafes that were brainstormed, decorated and staffed by a creative team of teachers.

Each of the three bright and colorful book cafes featured a variety of books for students from kindergarten through second grade to share and explore, as well as activity sheets for them to complete as they were served imaginary drinks and treats by the teachers.

The Maurice W. Downing team for always finds ways to make reading and learning fun for students while creating memories that will last a lifetime, the Malverne school district said in a statement.
