Students celebrate I Read Canadian Day

Posted On Wednesday February 19, 2020

Grade 1-2 students at Good Shepherd Catholic School celebrated ‘I Read Canadian Day’ by going to the library to listening to a story entitled That’s Not Hockey by Andree Poulin. Students then participated in a scavenger hunt that included finding Blue Spruce and Silver Birch Award books, name the author of the Paper Bag Princess, name the author of the Franklin books, write the title of an Indigenous book and more.

‘I Read Canadian Day’ is an opportunity for families, schools and libraries to promote the love of reading and Canadian authors. Students at Good Shepherd Catholic School will also be participating in Forest of Reading Program and will attend and meet authors of nominated books in May. Forest of Reading is the largest Canadian recreational reading program where the students read Canadian books and vote for their favourite Canadian author.
