Older students, accompanied by Ms. Poon and Ms. Laniado, had the choice to read Chinese and/or English books during their sessions. As a special treat, some kindergarten and preschool students were paired with their older siblings for this activity, making their week that much more memorable. Students also took full advantage of the opportunity to dress up and show off their "favorite character" costumes in class.
