Congratulations to Carson (3rd Grade) and Aubry (5th Grade), the two winners of a $50.00 Amazon Gift Card. The gift cards were awarded by participating in "Story in a Bag" from Family Literacy Night!
UW Extension Madison- Florence County facilitated "Story in a Bag", an activity for families to sit down together and write a story that included the three images each student picked out.
UW Florence County sends a big thank you to all the students and families who participated in, and wrote incredible stories. Also, a big thank you to Mrs. Wilcox for helping to review the stories.
Telling family stories helps children develop a sense of belonging in their family. Benefits are best when stories are personal and meaningful to the storyteller. Sharing family stories is a great way to connect parents and other adults with their children. You can learn more about family literacy and raising future readers by visiting parenting.extension.wisc.edu.
Come visit us at the Florence Fab Lab Community Open hours on Thursday from 4-7pm at Florence High School, room 229. You can make custom designed items like this vinyl dinosaur sticker!
