🌟 **We Love Lit! Winter Tutoring Wrap-Up** 🌟

As we close out our winter tutoring semester, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to our partners at **Oakland University**! 🎓

This season, we proudly hosted **21 K-3 students** in our tutoring program, fostering a love for learning and literacy. We particularly want to recognize our dedicated students who attended **90%-100%** of their sessions—

A special shoutout to the **Charles & Demetra Leonard Foundation**! 🙌 Thanks to their generosity, they awarded **9 scholarships of $250** each through the MESP college savings plan. Research shows that families who invest in college savings plans significantly increase the likelihood of their children attending college. Your support is a powerful investment in our youth's future! 💖

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey. We are grateful for your commitment to nurturing our next generation. Let’s continue to inspire and empower our children together!

🌳✨ **We Love Lit! & Oakland County Parks: A Sweet Adventure!** 🍁📚

We recently partnered with Oakland County Parks and Recreation for an engaging learning experience about maple syrup tapping! Families explored the history, learned to identify maple trees, and discovered the difference between real and artificial syrup.

During an interactive read-aloud of *A Kids Guide to Maple Syrup Tapping*, Oakland University MATEE teachers guided parents and caregivers, introducing the **Talking Drawing strategy**. Students created initial drawings, discussed their learnings, and then illustrated their newfound knowledge in a second drawing, showcasing their growth.

This program is a testament to the power of experiential learning and collaborative partnerships in nurturing a love for reading and learning in our children.
