momstown Oakville moms and kids got together this morning at Canlan Ice Sports to celebrate Family Literacy Day that was this past Sunday, January 27th.
We started the morning by making a family book that we put together with photos and drawings of our loved ones and friends! Both Oakville moms and kids really got into the family spirit and used all kind of materials such as alphabet stickers to spell out the names of special people in their books, markers, glitter glue and colourful string to tie it all together. All agreed it turned out to be a very special family keepsake to take home and share.
Craft time was followed by reading favourite books brought in by the kids to share with the group. Since it was Ainsley's first birthday, she brought her favourite happy birthday book, which given to her for her big day made it all the more special to read. Happy birthday Ainsley!
We ended the morning by reading and then raffling off six books from Scholastic Canada! 'Hot Rod Hamster' and 'How Do Dinosaurs Eat Cookies' were particular favourites! Thank you Scholastic Canada for helping momstown Oakville celebrate Family Literacy Day!
