Book Buddies with Mrs. Hartley's Class

Ms. Strum ALWAYS tells us that we are the best class in the whole school, and we are! Mrs. Hartley and Ms. Gooseberry teach 2nd grade. One day Mrs. Hartley came to Ms. Strum and they talked about doing book buddies together. Each 2nd grade student in Mrs. Hartley and Ms. Gooseberry's class is paired with a 4th grade student in Ms. Strum's class. Ms. Strum has been telling us that we are to be leaders and set a good example for our book buddy.

Our 1st meeting with our book buddy, we worked together and created a venn diagram comparing how we are alike and how we are different. Each Tuesday, we will meet and read a different book. We will also work with our book buddy and complete a reading comprehension flip chart based on what they read.

We look forward to every Tuesday, because we know that we are going to be able to read and work with our book buddy. We love it when Mrs. Hartley and Ms. Gooseberry's class come to our room. We can't wait until next week! :)

SURVIVOR

This week Ms. Strum divided us into SIX groups to play a game called SURVIVOR! Each group decided on a group name and decorated their poster accordingly. Ms. Strum told us that each week we could earn points based on behavior, homework, and academic points. At the end of each week, the students could pick the prize for their team AND steal a member of their choice from ANY other team.
