We are super excited about a new idea we are implementing this school year. We have partnered with Mrs. Shannon's Fifth grade class for some shared learning. The fifth graders will be joining us each Thursday morning to read and learn with our class. In the beginning the Fifth graders will read to the kindergartners and then the kindergartners will retell the story back to the fifth graders. As the kindergartners progress in their reading, they will begin to read to their fifth grade partners and the older students will share their knowledge about the reading strategies that they know and use. We are excited about this new project. We know that it will continue to change and grow throughout the school year. look for a post this week, from the children in our class. They will be sharing their thoughts about their first meeting with their new buddies.
