What is the Peer Helper Program?
Here are some of the details about the Peer Helper/Reading Team Program. The eighth grade Helpers come down during their lunch period to work with the children It is right after our lunch period and the whole class participates receiving either tutoring or enrichment. It will be a part of our Thursday schedule and no one is missing class time. In the past, the children have developed a nice rapport with the older students and benefitted from this extra assistance. Eve gives the helpers some pointers in dealing with the children and either Eve or I will be in the room with the children at all times. I hope this has cleared up any questions. If you would like to talk further about this, please contact me and I will call you so we can discuss it.
