One on One Reading at Ingleside Elementary School
Wednesday, January 15th, a group of 10 Norfolk Rotarians met Dr. Joy at Ingleside Elementary School to sit down with 2nd grade students who were hand picked by the Reading Specialist at the school, Melissa Mills. The assignment was to sit down with your student and read one of Dr. Joy's books, "Back to Zero: Because Some Days are Not So Easy". The book had some creative ideas for returning to Zero (or normal) after becoming uneasy or anxious about something. There were also discussion questions to review with the child, and in the end, the children each got to take the book home along with a gift bag that Dr. Joy provided.
