Throughout the year, the Rendell Center delivers special programs that are based on fresh content, current events and civic holidays.
February 18-25
SSJoin The Rendell Center, ABOTA, The Pennsylvania Bar Association, and The Annenberg Foundation for our February Read Aloud Program honoring Black History Month. We have selected three (3) books to make Read Alouds this month especially memorable.
I am Ruby Bridges by Ruby Bridges
All Rise: The Story of Ketanji Brown Jackson by Carole Boston Weatherford
Henry’s Freedom Box by Ellen Levine
What to Expect:
During these two weeks lawyers and judges will join classrooms virtually with our specially crafted Read Aloud Sessions to narrate our selected works of children’s literature.
The sessions last 30-45 minutes and are ideal for grades 2-5.
These engaging sessions will wrap up with discussion questions.
