First and Fourth Grade Buddies-Out of This World!

This afternoon in Mrs. Harlow's ELA class we journeyed down to First Grade for a meeting with our Reading Buddies! First Grade is learning about the solar system, and we were happy to help.  Each pair of buddies created a model of the Earth, Moon, and Sun as well as a labeled diagram of the planets.

    Brendon and Juliana pose with their model of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.  Nice teamwork!

    Jennifer and Asya used a book to ensure that their planet labels were accurate. Very resourceful!

I am thankful for... Reading Buddies!

Today in Mrs. Harlow's ELA class we visited our First Grade Reading Buddies!  During the visit students worked with their buddies to create "I am thankful for..." turkeys.

Here is one of my favorites!  

Joan  and Christine are thankful for education, their teacher, family, food, and helpful friends.

And of course we had time for reading too!
