At the first Let's Read, Westside session... We had 12 kids and about 16 volunteers, including Beth and me. The theme of the session was the Winter Olympics. To start off the session I read aloud Curious George in the Snow to the kids. From there the kids picked out a book and a volunteer to read with one-on-one. After about 45 minutes, the kids returned to the room for snack (apple slices and cheese and crackers). We then had the kids make gold medals by painting cardboard circles with yellow paint (pictured, above). While those were drying the kids made Olympic torches out of paper and red/yellow/orange tissue paper and Olympic flags. Jared and Rashidi are pictured here (below) and there are more photos posted on our facebook page!
