Reading with a Buddy!

This year at Hanover Street Elem, we have several of our classes, across different grade levels, "buddying up" to read.  Our kdg and first grade students love having the opportunity to sit down with a "big kid", 3rd and 4th graders, to enjoy a book together.  This also gives the older students a perfect opportunity to "show-off" their superior reading skills.  Some of our groups have gone beyond just reading together, collaborating on activities that coincide with their story!  Buddy Reading emphasizes the fun and importance of reading, while also promoting the importance of giving, sharing, and nurturing.  Below are pictures from Ms. Evans' 3rd grade class working together with Miss White's kindergarten students.
