5th Grade Buddies with 1st Grade

Submitted by jaimie.standish on

5th Graders at Barnett Elementary buddy with 1st graders to help them become stronger readers. The 5th graders go weekly into a 1st grade classroom and tutor the first graders for a half hour. Not only does this excite the 1st graders about reading, but it builds empathy and confidence in the 5th graders!
