Gotta Keep Readin’

Parent Group of the Year entries always have lots of great ideas that we think should be shared, and here are some favorites from 2012. To liven up the Read Across America program, teachers and 5th graders at the Birch Meadow School in Reading, Mass., performed a flash mob dance at the kickoff assembly to the tune of the Black-Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling.” Then, throughout the rest of the monthlong program, the K-4 students also learned the dance moves. All 410 kids performed it together at the closing assembly.
