Reading Buddies

The first graders enjoyed making festive turkeys with the third graders. The older students did such a nice job helping their younger friends follow the steps to make the "hands and feet turkey". After making the turkeys, they helped the first graders practice reading their just right books. Later in the week they got together again to share their published narratives. They read their stories and gave compliments. Then they enjoyed some cider and cookies to celebrate their hard work during Writing Workshop. We will get together with our third grade reading buddies a lot during the year.
