The Words Anthology is an annual tradition that celebrates the writing of Burnaby students. This year’s edition, Waves of Words, is especially exciting because it features a piece of writing from one of our Douglas Road Firedbirds, Yiling!
In her prose essay, Yiling describes some of the causes of climate change and shares her hope for a clean, healthy planet. Congratulations, Yiling! (You can read the essay on Page 28 of the Waves of Words Anthology).
Here are two levelled books on the topic of COVID-19. These books can empower beginner readers by letting them read and learn about COVID-19 on their own. The author has shared them for free, so click on one of the images below to download!
Hey, Firebirds! CLICK HERE to watch a very special message from the staff of Douglas Road Elementary School. Thank you to Ms. Kwok for putting this together!
Candlewick Press has published a children’s book about the coronavirus. It’s informative, child-friendly, and best of all it’s free! CLICK HERE to download the book.
“An elegant, effective work. Download this now, read it immediately, share it with everyone you know.” — School Library Journal
As part of literacy week, Douglas Road Library held its first annual Readers’ Choice Award. Primary classes read three different picture books and voted for their favourite. It was a close vote, but the winning book was Perfectly Norman by Tom Percival! This is a lovely book with a simple but powerful message about being yourself.
This year’s Readers’ Choice Award was designed by Regina in Div. 5!
