Take JOY in Reading
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Throughout the year, I will be sending a JOY bag home. Every child will receive the bag at least twice, throughout the year. The purpose of this bag is to promote JOY in reading and spending a little time with family!
The Steps:
Read the book as a family. Take turns reading and just enjoy the book. Talk about the book. Your favourite parts, the characters, etc. Choose one of the activities on the blue paper. Write an entry (it can be one of the suggestions on the blue paper) in the notebook. Please put the date on the page. This may include pictures, poems, etc. directed to the class in general or to the next family. Please be considerate, as we want this to be a positive experience. Eat the treats!
Things to consider:
Please return ALL the contents to the box. Please replace the treats with something from your family. We have some children with allergies, so please ensure that what you put in is nut-free. Please ensure that the treats fit in the box. Each student anxiously awaits his/her turn to, “Take Joy,” home! Please remember to send it back to school the next day, according to our schedule.

- *As the JOY bag makes its rounds in our classroom, we will take a little time to read the entries in the notebook. When the notebook is full, we will add it to our classroom library. It’s so fun to look back at our entries!
Most importantly…enJOY this time with your family! Thanks for participating!
