"Ohana" means family

Being new to this district and school, I have learned so many wonderful things about the Islands. Each and every day a situation or experience leads me to this wonderful feeling of family. Today was one of them. 

We have started our whole school reading buddies, where we mix the students up and they take charge in their reading and share what they have learned. Today grades 3/4 were honored to work with Mrs. Parker's Kindergartners. I have not yet seen this class work so hard to help someone accomplish a task. The Kindergartners were so proud when they left our room because of the support given by their older peers. We were definitely Golden Eagles today at North Hero School.
