Mrs. Kostkowicz's class had a fantastic #booklove PARP week partnering with Ms. Kissane's fourth graders for buddy reading! Younger and older students read side by side, shared favorite moments, and built meaningful cross-grade friendships. In addition to exploring great books, students also learned about the traditions and cultural significance of Lunar New Year. The combination of collaborative reading and cultural learning made PARP week truly special-reminding everyone that reading connects us not just to stories, but to each other and the wider world. We enjoyed spreading #booklove during PARP week!
