Every Thursday, during 8th grade Leadership class, students take a trip down to Mrs. Hodges 2nd grade classroom. The sweet little 2nd graders greet us with happy smiles, handshakes, and hugs. 在我们到达之前,他们都准备好了大密封袋,里面装满了他们正在阅读的书。 我们坐在房间里的豆袋里,坐在桌子前,坐在地板上,一起阅读大约15分钟。  有时他们读书给我们听,有时我们读书给他们听。  和小学的孩子们建立关系是很有趣的,他们在同一栋楼里,但有时感觉像在另一个世界。  Titus Knudtson, an 8th grade Leadership student says, “阅读伙伴 really gets us out of our comfort zone, and its fun when the 2nd graders recognize us outside the classroom.”
