The Taylor Reading Corps’ second summer program
began earlier this week at McDowell Elementary School.
Theme of the week is “autobiography.”
Students started creating biography books.
Got to know each other with an ice breaker.
Exercised the brains with “Brain Gym” and read some stories.
The Taylor Reading Corps
could use a few recycled items to aid in children's education over the vacation
months. Emily Sweeney, who is coordinating much of the program, needs the
following:
•
Yogurt containers
•
Paper towel and/or toilet paper
rolls
•
Tissue boxes
•
Cereal boxes
•
Coffer containers
•
Pringles cans
•
Masking tape
The TRC plans to have children building a
"recycled city including towers and buildings" so anything that you'd
like to donate would be very helpful.
The TRC office (22755 Wick) is located in the
Par-Wick Plaza near Sax Pharmacy, which is at Wick Road and Pardee. The office
is open during regular business hours weekly. For further information, call
(313) 769-6730 or click on the TRC Web site by clicking here.
The TRC is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization
that recruits, trains and supervises adult reading mentors to work in the
Taylor School District. This past year, the TRC mentored children in preschool,
kindergarten and the first grade. Next year, it plans to expand its effort to
the second-grade level.
