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!!

Last week, I didn't write about our 5th grade Family Science Night because I didn't have any pictures to share.  I had heard how awesome the event had been but was unable to show you.  Now, I will let the pictures speak for themselves!  Obviously, Family Science Night was a great learning experience for both kids and parents!  Way to go 5th grade:-)
