Wednesday, March 2, 2022 was National Read Across America Day. The 6th grade students visited the preschool to read books with them. The 6th graders enjoyed showing off their reading skills, and the preschoolers loved listening to the fluent 6th graders. The 6th graders admitted they missed being in preschool, but they enjoyed reading with their preschool friends so much that we are going back in April to do math with them. Check out our pictures!
