After-School Literacy Program ... with Pastries!

This is the first year of our after-school literacy program here at CHAH! Before the break, students read about holiday foods around the world. One of the articles they read was about how Christmas foods differ around the world. Students made a list of all the new foods they learned about and compared and contrasted them. Next, they made text-to-self connections by writing about a holiday that is special or important to them. On the last day of the program before our holiday break, students presented their special holiday and then had the opportunity to try some of the foods they read about.

Students go to try Stollen (a German fruitcake) and Panetone (an Italian fruitcake)!
