Spencer-Van Etten Central School District

On November 30, in collaboration with Nicole Delaney and the kindergarten team, members of the high school English 11-12 class visited the elementary school to read to select kindergarten students.  The high schoolers, under the instruction of Rebecca Paasch and Laura Lau, selected two books each, practiced reading them in class, and then read to one or two kindergarteners.  Afterward, everyone enjoyed a snack, and the "big kids" helped their reading buddies complete other fun activities.  It was a great opportunity for both groups of students to work on literacy skills and for the juniors and seniors to act as role models for the kindergarten students.  We hope to continue these visits in the new year!
