To culminate a unit of study on nonfiction texts, fourth grade students in Alexis Kane’s class at Frank P. Long Intermediate School presented research projects. As part of the unit, the students learned research skills, facts, how to synthesize information, organized note-taking and how to work as a team. They worked in groups to create their projects. During “intermission,” the students had a treat and filled out “compliment cards” to members of different groups to uplift them.

Through the South Country School District’s Clipper Literacy Leaders initiative, high school English language arts students recently visited Frank P. Long Intermediate School to read to fourth graders.

The students read “Watercress” by Andrea Wang. Following the read aloud, the high school students spearheaded a discussion and activities related to the themes in the book, including family, food and culture.

The Clipper Literacy Leaders, which kicked off during the 2023-2024 school year, aims to create connections between high school and younger students while also promoting literacy and a love of reading. Each month, the Leaders visit a district school to read books that tie into the district’s social and emotional learning curriculum and connect with cultural/identity celebrations.
