Our 5th grade students are having a super time reading with buddies in Junior Kindergarten. Pairing older learners with younger learners is beneficial to the older students by providing opportunities to practice reading, and to the younger students as well to provide an opportunity to hear what fluent reading. We believe that it also helps to build relationships and a sense of belonging among the students.
Today is a beautiful December day, but we know it can't last forever in South Dakota! Make sure you and your student(s) know how to access Canvas for remote learning when weather that keeps kids home can be predicted in advance.
