Sharing Our Time and Reading Great Books with Our Buddies!
Funded Aug 13, 2021I just wanted to say thank you so very much for your donations of children´s books in Spanish, The Discovery Analog with synchronized Digital clock and the individual student clocks! They have made a huge impact on not only on the learning of my own students, but on that of our reading buddies as well. The students at both campuses are still talking about this project!
The books provided a wonderful opportunity for my Spanish 2 students to read in the preterit and imperfect tense which we have been practicing in class. They also taught our reading buddies what cognates are, which are words in Spanish that look similar to our words in English. My Spanish students listened to our buddies reading the same books in English, so this was a win-win for both groups!
The Discovery Analog with synchronized Digital clock allowed me to teach a mini-lesson for our buddies on telling time in Spanish. The student clocks were a great tool to share with our buddies and test each other on telling time in Spanish and in English. The second graders felt like "big kids on the block" because they got to test the high school kids on telling time in Spanish! Our reading buddies asked us to come back on a quarterly basis next year because they enjoyed our time together so much!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Hirepan
