Remember, start collecting now but please do not bring the cans to your school until the week of January 15-20, 2001. Student representatives from participating schools will have the opportunity to appear on the Telethon to receive their school trophy. Mrs. Daniel asked the fourth graders to help instruct the pre-school children on how to use the mouse in the computer lab. They also helped to instruct the children on several software programs. All students in kindergarten through third grade participate daily in a 45-minute reading group.
Students are in groups with four to eight other simiilar readers.
A classroom or reading teacher teaches each group. This time is spent on learning reading strategies, phonics practice, writing skills and enjoying literature. Each quarter students work with a different teacher so they can experience different teaching styles during Common Reading Block. The third graders have been peer mentors for the kindergarten and first graders in Mrs. Meisinger's class. They have been meeting twice a month on early dismissal days for 45 minutes.
