Methodist Children’s Home School (MCHS) students visited
classrooms of Hewitt Elementary to share Christmas stories from Spanish books.
The students were from Ms. Rojas’ Spanish 1 and 2 classes.
On Dec. 16 and 17, the MCHS students read to children in
pre-K through second grade from the classrooms of Ms. Faith Foster (pre-K), Ms.
Jessica Lopez (Kindergarten), Mr. Frederick Herrera (first grade) and Ms. Irene
Martinez (second grade). Ms. Foster’s class created an alphabet book in English
that they also shared with their visitors. MCHS student Beyonce accompanied her
book, La Pinata, by singing “Feliz Navidad” to the class.
As part of the project, MCHS provided the four classes with
a set of English books from Scholastic for their classroom libraries.
“The purpose of this partnership was for our students to
practice reading in Spanish through Christmas themed books,” Ms. Rojas said.
“The partnership was beneficial for both groups because the Pre-K students were
also able to practice speaking English through their alphabet books.”
The schools plan to carry on the partnership through next
semester.
