SILVA VALLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO HOST REGION’S FIRST “READ ACROSS AMERICA” VOCABULARY PARADE OF STUDENTS
The students at El Dorado Hills’ Silva Valley Elementary will be “walking the talk” at the regions first Vocabulary Parade on February 28th. The parade is based on the book Miss Alaineus: A Vocabulary Disaster written by Debra Frasier and is the grand conclusion to a week-long celebration culminating with the National Educators Association’s Read Across America Day on March 3.
Students will be wearing home-made costumes designed to artistically define their selected vocabulary word. Awards will be given for the most creative costume and use of a word. Members of the community and proud parents are invited to cheer on and applaud student ingenuity while emphasizing literacy and the love of reading at Silva Valley.
“We are so excited to bring this fun and creative celebration of words to our school, and the region as a whole,” explains Silva Valley Principal Kathy Holliman. “The kids’ costume ideas are truly amazing. The students have really risen to our challenge and are looking forward to a magnificent, fabulous, marvelous, stupendously exciting day of learning new words and increasing their vocabulary. I hope that this is the first in a long tradition of Vocabulary Parades in our community.”
