Literacy Buddies

"What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand."
-- Confucius

Our class understands the importance being a leader and helping those around us. Being a caring leader takes many forms. One example of our students being caring leaders is by their efforts with their literacy buddies. During this activity, students are paired with a 2nd grade student to help be a positive role model for their younger peer. Their efforts are so profound that they stand as role models for more than just their buddy. Keep up it up!

Thank you to all of the individuals who came to our school to share with us what they do for a living.
