STARS Read and Record for CHOP

This year, my STARS students combined with Miss Houloose's third grade class are working together on a holiday community service project. We have ordered picture books for the studetns that are on their independent reading level. The students have been partnered together to practice fluency, reading with expression and accuracy of the text. Next week the students will be recording their voices of their reading of the book and crating a podcast. This vook will then be donated to the children at CHOP, Children's Hospital of Pennsyvania, and access to the the podcast will become available.

This time of year gives us all the opportunity to reflect on how fortunate we are. What makes this community service project so special is that it is one child halping another. Our hope as a classroom is to allow one child to take another child far away from the pain, fear, and fatigue through the words of a story. Together, we are helping to make this special event a magical and memorable onr for many!
