We are very fortunate to
have Ms. Barsanti's Independent Study
class as our Reading Buddies! Each student has been paired with a student
from the other class. Throughout the year, the
buddies will have a chance to read to each other. This gives the
students read aloud time as well as the opportunity
to meet other students.
Music
The class will have music in
small groups with Ms. Gwendolyn.
They will focus on the elements of music, rhythm,
and more.
Thursday Library
The class will visit the
library in small groups. The books the

are welcome to read their books throughout the week as
well as with their Reading Buddy.
