Clayton Huey Elementary School held its WARM Week, which stands for “We Are Reading More.” The week helped foster a love for reading in elementary students and was filled with themed days including “Read a T-Shirt Day” and “Book Character Day.”

Students participated in several reading-based activities. They were excited to be put into their big-little pairs, where every primary class was paired up with an intermediate class for collaborative reading time.

The week culminated with a visit from children’s book author Brian Heinz. He took students through his entire writing process – from rough draft to being published. Heinz shared stories about the trips he takes around the country to research the topics he is interested writing about. Students were inspired to continue reading and were open to the idea of even becoming authors themselves one day.
