B.F. Day Readers Are Busy!

• In grades 4-5 learning about credible sources when conducting research, identifying search terms for online research, and how to write bibliographies.
• In grades 2-3 the “Series Challenge” where students are inspired to read 3, 4, or 5 books in a series and earn a coveted spot on the Series Star Wall of Fame.
• In grades 4-5 the Global Reading Challenge where six B.F. Day teams have been reading and studying 8 books in preparation for a book knowledge competition.
• In all grades learning about black lives of excellence through literature.
