Big Buddies

The middle school classes are working with the Mrs. Dinham's preschoolers, there are two, 3 year old classes and one 4 year old class. The 6th graders read books to them, and will be reading another book to them. The first book they read was a Dr. Suess book, and last week we went to the library so they could choose an informational book. They have also been looking up fun and interesting facts about their topic. They will be paired up to read to Mrs. Dinham's class next week. On Monday and today, Tuesday, the 7th graders went down to Mrs. Dinham's classes to work with the 3 year olds on recognizing their names and the letters. Today, Tuesday, the 8th graders went and worked with the 4 year olds with letters and letter sounds. The middle schoolers did such a good job with them. It helped the little ones with their letters, and will not only help the middle schoolers with century 21 skills and connecting with the younger students, it will help them be more responsible and help the 6th graders recognizing characteristics of informational text. The 6th graders will also be writing an informative paper on their topic.
