Literacy Day

Literacy Day is about Middle Schoolers meeting up with Third Graders. The Middle Schoolers made books for their third grade buddy and the third graders read at least 1 chapter from the book they are reading to the Middle Schooler. At the end the third graders got a book that their Middle Schooler book buddy wrote. It was a TON of fun! By, Ben
