🐷📚 March is Reading Month! 📚🐷
At WBSD, our educators cherish the power of storytelling. Mrs. Christy Schultz, 3rd Grade Teacher at Wegienka Elementary School, shares her heartfelt connection to a timeless classic.
🌟 Mrs. Schultz: Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
"I love the story of friendship and sweet kindness. I always cry at the end when I read it aloud to my third graders; then my students show kindness."
This beloved tale not only touches hearts but also inspires acts of kindness among students, highlighting the profound impact of literature in our classrooms.
