Today was one of those days where it all seemed to click!  Each day the class does what we call “Buddy Reading”.  The Super Kids take a book home each day.  They return it the next day and read it to a buddy.  They then read their word cards to each other.  Both the grade one and grade two kids have word cards.  They are so excited to read to each other!  The grade one kids are fascinated by the grade two kid’s reading abilities.  The grade two kids are thrilled to help their new friend learn reading strategies.  Some students took it a step further and were practicing spelling words too!

I had to take out my phone and snap a few pictures of this process.  It has to be my favourite time of the day!

The kids broke out the mini whiteboards today when they finished their word work.  I couldn’t believe what I was seeing!  They were drawing 3D shapes.  Of course this was a teachable moment.  We had to stop right there and talk about shapes.  Then they had to teach me how to draw a cube!
