Book Buddies

Each year my class partners up with another class to have book buddies. This year we are partnered up with Mrs.  Mulligan's third grade class. Through out the year we will meet and do all kinds of things together. The first time we got together we got to know each other. We partnered each kindergartener to a third grader. Then we gave the. Some time to talk and get to know each other. 

After our first week of getting to know each other our third grade book buddies came to visit us again. This time it was Letter U week in kindergarten. So we had our umbrellas with us.  Our book buddies read to us as we sat under our umbrellas. The students loved umbrella reading with our book buddies. 

Garden and bunnies!

Today my class spent some time with our 3rd grade book buddies. Since the weather is perfect we took our kids outside with our journals to our school garden. The students observed the changes that has happened in our garden. Then we had them sit down and write about the garden (what gardens need and have). As the students were walking around looking at the different plants they found baby bunnies! They were so excited to see the small bunny faces in their burrow.
