Mr. Kohl's fourth-graders visited Mrs. Jackson's first-grade class to partner up and read each other stories during PARP! The first-graders took a turn being the reader first, and then they were the listeners as the fourth-graders read a funny story.
Students at SES were asked to make spaceships from materials they could find at home as part of this year's Pick a Reading Partner (PARP) theme, "Reading is Out of This World!" From pop bottles to Pringles cans, pie tins, Legos and clay sculptures, students submitted an array of spaceships, rockets and flying saucers. Each creation earned students a PARP ticket to enter a raffle drawing.
