Kitty Hawk Elementary School, SOARing at KHES week of November 9, 2015

Many classes  at KHES participate in Reading Buddies or Book Buddies. Upper grades pair with lower grades for this fun activity. This is a great way to instill a love of reading in all! Students usually meet once a week with their buddy class. They are encouraged to find a quiet place to read and discuss a book of their choosing. As the year progresses, the younger student will also read to their older buddy! Mrs. Gray's First Grade and Mrs. Childress' Third Grade have taken it one step farther. Not only do they participate in Reading Buddies , they also do Math Buddies!! What a great way to make learning fun!


KHES is participating in the Gratitude Graffiti Project. The project is a forty day practice of purposeful appreciation of one's life through interactive art. Mrs. Heroux, our school counselor, has set up a bulletin board in the Pride Hall where students and staff are encouraged to add thankful thoughts~ a perfect endeavor for this time of year!
