Book Surgery Brings Literature to Life
January 23rd, 2025
On Wednesday, Elementary students traded their uniforms for scrubs as the former EMS dining room transformed into a busy "operating room" for Book Surgery Day! Acting as "book surgeons," students carefully examined books from four different genres, searching for key text features like titles, headings, and illustrations.
This hands-on activity turned learning into an exciting adventure, making literature come alive in a whole new way. The interactive experience encouraged curiosity, creativity, and teamwork as students worked together to "diagnose" their books.
"It was so much fun pretending to be a surgeon while learning about different genres," one student said.
By the end of the day, the “patients” (books) were better understood, and the “surgeons” left with a deeper appreciation for reading. A round of applause for this unforgettable literary experience!
Thank you to Mrs. Stark and the elementary teachers for always coming up with ingenious ways to make learning so much fun!
