We met with our fifth grade reading buddies again last week. The fifth graders have been working on the reading comprehension strategy of visualizing, so to practice they wrote short stories with descriptive language that would help their readers better visualize their words. KG-M listened to the stories and then drew pictures illustrating what was happening in the stories. The fifth graders then looked at these pictures to see what details their buddies heard.
Also with our buddies we practiced singing "Hey Dum, Diddley Dum", which we will perform together at the next ES assembly on October 11!
Fatima is very excited about her NEWLY found reading ability ☺
ReplyDeleteShe loves reading and having a reading buddy is really helpful… now she knows where she is going to be as a reader in few years time! Thank you for nurturing the love of reading for Fatima. KG-M ROCKS.
Thank you for commenting on our blog. We are readers and we love to read books. We stretch out words. Thank you for telling us we are good readers. From, KG-M
ReplyDeleteChase loves working with his reading buddy and has been practicing the song all week at home. I really enjoyed getting to know his classmates and seeing all the Learning Center activity last week! What a great learning environment. Louise Dettman
ReplyDeleteDear Ms. Louise,
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming into our classroom and helping with learning centers. We all loved the song "Hey, Dum, Diddley, Dum". We'll post a video of us singing it at the assembly.
