Superior Headstart fieldtrip
Thursday, September 24th, 2009On September 23rd, 17 students – accompanied by teachers, aides and parent volunteers – were treated to a story book reading at Resolution Copper’s Main Street office.
The story ‘Fall is Coming’, from the online storybook site, toddlerschool.net was read by employee Elizabeth Magallanez, while students enjoyed watching the illustrations on the flat screen TV. The reading was such a success that students requested another. ‘My Cat Tiger’ was the popular choice.
The visit is part of Superior Headstart’s monthly walking field trip program, aimed at educating students about their community. 2009 marks Resolution Copper’s second year of participation in the program.
