I Love to Read

Carman Elementary was our next stop with I Love to Read Month! Daemon Parent, along with Friesens Corporation in Altona's Representative Ian McKinnon made their way to read to grade two students in Carman. Ian read the Friesens produced book, A Strange Bird: It's good to be a bit different, to the kids who loved following along with the art. Daemon read his childhood favourite book, The Hockey Sweater, which worked well with the outdoor loving, hockey fans in the combined classes. A big thank you to Carman Elementary for letting us come in and read to the kids.

Wednesday morning, Rosenfeld School morning was CFAM Radio 950 Morning Show Co-Host Chris Sumner's destination for the latest I Love to Read Month stop on our Pembina Valley wide tour. Fourteen Grade 1 and 2 students had their listening ears on for the time with Mrs. Friesen’s class which included Shayleah Funk from Friesens Corporation, which is providing free books to all the students we read to… A Strange Bird: It’s good to be a bit different.

I Love to Read Month is all about bringing smiles and the love of reading to kids around the world. This month we've been heading out to schools in the Pembina Valley to read to grade two students and on Tuesday, the 21st... Country 88 Morning Show host Daemon Parent made the drive to Manitou to read to the kids in Kaitlyn Rouire's grade two class. The kids interacted with the reading, had all sorts of fun questions, and each and every one of the kids received their very own copy of the book, A Strange Bird: It's good to be a bit different.

I Love to Read Month continues this week, and CFAM Radio 950 Morning Show Co-Host Chris Sumner had his first opportunity to read in class Tuesday afternoon at Morris School. About four dozen Grade 1 and 2’s were awaiting his visit, along with special guest reader Andrea from Friesens. After the reading time was over, Chris chatted with Skylar, Oliver and Jackson about the book read from Friesens Corporation in Altona, A Strange Bird: It's good to be a bit different… as well as a number of other things, including how all four of them had just got back from hot vacations!
