VLA English and Communication Class Participated in a
Community Connection Project
The Spring quarter project involved three and four year old classes at
KinderCare Childcare Center. The project started with a presentation of
reading tips from Erica, the Kindercare Lead Teacher presenting the class with
tips and suggestions for reading to young children. Each week the English
Communication Students would choose a children’s book, write questions to ask
the kids, and review concepts to discuss with the kids. English students
taught and reviewed concepts such as author, illustrators and doing a “picture
walk” with the kids. The English students also identified and made learning
games to play with the kids. Both organizations agreed that the collaboration
was a success and look forward to doing it next year!
