Buddies

We have learned that the best way to become a better reader is to PRACTICE READING!  We take some time each day to do "Read to Self" where each student silently reads books that are at a just-right level for him or her.

One new way we practiced reading this week was reading to a buddy.  We realized that this would also help us become better readers, and reading to a friend is FUN!  Here are the rules that we came up with together.  (Ask your child what EEKK means!)  Students, in the comments below, please tell us the name of your favorite book from your Bag of Books that you enjoy reading to yourself and to a buddy.  

P.S. Check out the "Websites" tab at the top of this page... I added a new link to a "Busy Bees" math game.  This game reinforces what we've been learning in math this week.  

The students had a lot of fun with it!  :)
