Learning at play – on Family Literacy Day!

Posted on February 2nd, 2018 by Barbara

Family Literacy Day 2018 was so much fun, the celebrations spread over the whole month! I had the pleasure of meeting young readers and their families at S. Walter Stewart, Malvern, Brentwood and Fairview branches of the Toronto Public Library for stories and hands-on plasticine workshops throughout January. Such talent! On Family Literacy Day I took part in a lively event at the NCFS Community Centre. The evening began with drumming, and included a book reading, kids and families creating plasticine art, all the while sharing a hearty chili dinner.  A warm and wonderful finale to a busy month. Many thanks to everyone at ABC Life Literacy and all the organizers of FLD events all across Canada. Most of all, thanks to the enthusiastic participants. Happy reading – and see you next year!
