First Graders Get Special Guest Reader on Thursday, September 9th (VIDEO)
Lansing USD 469's new Director of Teaching and Learning, Mr. Miles Azzeh, visited Mrs. Leitsch's first-grade class on Thursday, September 9, 2021 to read to the students. Mrs. Leitsch and the students let Mr. Azzeh pick the book he would be reading, and he chose "If You Take a Mouse to School." When he was finished with the story, Mr. Azzeh put the book in the stack of growing books the class has read together, and he and Mrs. Leitsch did some "buddy reading" by reading "The Cat in the Hat" together to the students.
The students will each be writing their own story with Mr. Azzeh's help when he makes another visit to the classroom. Their task until then is to come up with tone, topic, characters, and setting for their piece. Watch this website for updates!
Mr. Azzeh will continue to visit other classrooms across the district to encourage reading to all our students.
