P.S. 233 hosted its first Family Literacy Night on December 13. Thirty-five pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and first grade students and their parents attended. The event, overseen by Howard Goldberg, CSR Grant Coor-dinator, and Janice Sydney Smith, Literacy Coach, was intended to give parents ideas and tools for helping their children with reading at home.
The theme of the evening was If You Give a Student a Book, in the manner of the children’s story, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, by Laura Joffe Numeroff and Felicia Bond. There was a spirited read aloud and discussion of the Numeroff book by school librarian, Pearl Wolkin while students snacked on chocolate chip cookies. Students and parents then explored five literacy workstations facilitated by over a dozen teacher volunteers. Reading games were raffled off and a free book was given to each child to close the night.
Community School Superintendent Joanne Mejias was in attendance, as was Principal Aletta Seales, Assistant Principal Rosemary Cuccia, and Sylvia Scofield, the librarian from the East Flatbush branch of the Brooklyn Public Library.
