Every week the kids ask me if we are going to see our 4th grade buddies. This week I was able to say "Yes! On Friday!" Then Friday came and all day they asked me "Is it time to go see our buddies?" Finally 2:15 rolled around on the clock and I told them it was time. What a fun walk down to the C-pod to meet up with Mr. J's class. We did a little art project with snowflakes, read a book about snowflakes and talked about how each snowflake is perfectly unique just like each student! There were lots of smiles and happy working kids. Another fun thing we do with our buddies is write in buddy journals back and forth a few times a month. It is a great authentic writing assignment! There is a real audience and purpose for writing. I love the fact that our school is a great big community where teacher and kids interact both inside and outside of their own classroom.
