Third grader reads to younger classmates
Jordan
Akselrad, a third grade student, recently read a wonderful book
to his younger classmates in Sara Kozachuk's first grade class.
The children loved listening to Jordan read, "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus," since it's one of their favorite stories! Before reading to the younger students, Jordan practiced his tone, fluency and how to turn the book to share the illustrations.

The "Rules for Fighting Fair" posted at KLR
Students in Rutherford's third-grade
enrichment book club have been reading, "The Hundred Dresses" by
Eleanor Estes. This is a story about children in a school who
put down and tease a fellow student. Because of the theme, the
students had many discussions about how to treat each other in
school. Using research from the Peace Education Foundation's web
site, students found the "Rules For Fighting Fair." This
inspired students to color the handout and post it around the
building to share with the other students. The rules to help
work out a problem out peacefully are as follows:
1. Find out the problem
2. Attack the problem, not the person.
3. Listen to each other.
4. Care about each other's feelings.
5. Be responsible for what you say and do.
Fouls include: hitting, name calling, put downs, threats,
bossing, teasing, blaming, making excuses, not listening and
getting even - these are the things to avoid.
