Reading Buddies
10/26/2019
We love our preschool reading buddies! Reading buddies are older students paired with younger students to promote community. Each Tuesday, our class reads books to our preschool friends before they take their nap. We love sharing our love for reading! This opportunity each week allows our younger friends to hear stories read aloud and have positive experiences with the “big kids.” Third graders get to practice reading aloud fluently and being a leader. In math, we have been exploring and discussing strategies for solving multiplication problems. At PNA, one of our goals is to develop students who feel confident sharing their thoughts. One of the many ways we develop confidence in our classroom is regularly turning on our doc camera during math. Students get to project their work on the board and explain how they solved a particular problem. In addition to developing confidence, this routine allows the rest of the class to see different ways of solving the same problems.
