Junior High Students Return to Longfellow

                                                                                                                                                                  
This past week Junior High Students from Mrs. Ridout’s 21st Century Learning class went to Longfellow Elementary to read one of their favorite children’s books to Kindergarteners.  After reading the stories the JH students asked the kids a series of questions about what they liked, disliked, or favorite parts of the story.

Mrs. Ridout’s students then used this information to guide them as they began the process of writing their own children’s book.  Once they have written the books they will return to Longfellow and read the original stories to the same students.  The interaction among the students from each class was great to see and each set of kids learned so much from one another.
