Reading is more fun with a buddy!

This year I was fortunate enough to meet some of the students that are a part of a program housed at our school site. Meeting them made such an impact on me that I wanted to share that experience with my students. My coworker, Ms. Alfonso, suggested that I work with Ms. Oliver's PMH class and we teamed up as "Book Buddies". We  read Animal Farm to Ms. Oliver's first period students. This was followed up by a multisensory arts and crafts project.

Ms. Oliver hosted an art show to display some of the work she helped her students complete and invited the school to visit her class.

    1. I have seen lots of people in jeans, it is cold so many are wearing jackets and sweaters. Some people cover their hair and wear more traditional looking clothes but for the most part they dress like people in the west.

    1. I have had chicken liver, beef, anchovies, coucous, turney pastry, calamari. The food is delicious and not that different from what I would eat at home. I also had soup and they eat bread with everything and lots of olives and dates.
