Great Neck Road Elementary School welcomed students and their families to the school for an evening of fun and learning together on March 6. Attendees gathered in different classrooms to listen to a read aloud of “Because” by Mo Willems. Following a discussion of the book’s message of music and creativity, students colored their own maracas to take home. Working together with their families and classmates, they played grade level math games to reinforce their understanding. The school’s Parent-Teacher Association also set up a book fair in the cafeteria allowing families to browse the offerings before and after the event.
