Mrs. Quintiliani and Mrs. Sparks had lots of fun with their students in reading. They first hand-made many, many little mice (out of felt) and added a touch of Christmas with some candy canes. Then they hand delievered their mice to students at Dirksen School along with a story. Junior high students reading to primary students Christmas stories...and some of the adults even got a story or two read!
