Day 51 - BHS Students Visit Pine Glen Kindergarten - Mrs. Parnell

This post first appeared on Mrs. Parnell's blog

One of the Burlington School District's goals this year is collaboration. This year the students in Room 101 will collaborate with Ms. Hoerle’s Italian IV Burlington High School class. Today Ms. Hoerle’s class came to our class. We learned how to say hello and goodbye in Italian. We learned how to count to five in Italian and we learned how to say some color words in Italian.  Then the high school students read with the kindergartners. We also held a quick morning meeting and passed around our new Qball. We danced to Tooty Ta and GoNoodle's Pop SE KO. Another one of our goals this year with our kindergarten students is for them to understand that EVERYONE reads! The kindergartners enjoyed having their high school partners read and talk with them! All students BIG and SMALL had a great time today and we are all looking forward to seeing each other again in the spring.

Ms. Hoerle shared a few of her items from her Italian heritage. She shared some traditional clothing, a Parmesan cheese holder, and a coffee maker with us and showed us the Italian flag.

I would especially like to thank Ms. Hoerle for agreeing to collaborate this year with my class. This was a wonderful experience for all. I even got to see one of my past students (although I did not recognize her at first- it was great to see Madison) and a few other Pine Glen Alumni who were comfortable being back at Pine Glen.
