Reading is a gateway to knowledge, imagination, and personal growth. It allows us to explore new ideas, travel to distant places, and experience different perspectives—all from the comfort of a book. Whether for education or entertainment, reading enhances vocabulary, sharpens critical thinking, and improves focus. It also fosters empathy by helping us understand the emotions and experiences of others. In a world full of distractions, reading offers a quiet refuge, encouraging mindfulness and deeper engagement with the world around us.
Third graders are making an impact in the lives of our kindergarten by coming and reading a story with them. They are getting to engage with each other and make memories that will be talked about way longer than elementary school. We are so excited to see the patience and understanding the third graders show to our littles. Our teachers are doing an amazing job in making sure that our kids get to experience all types of situations and learn to interact with someone who is not their same age. Reading is a huge part of everyone's lives and it is so much fun to learn to read with friends!
