First-graders read around the world

Bethany Dorschner, a student in Paula Krekelberg’s first-grade class, explores books about Vietnam while toting her homemade suitcase around “Asia.” Each grade at Prairie Elementary School decorated its common area like a different continent, displaying books about the continent and offering activities for students to take along on their global journey. The “Reading Around the World” event was the school’s kickoff to “I Love To Read” month, celebrated in February. (LAURA GREVAS/DAILY GLOBE)
