Reading Buddy Celebration

Oh, how I love my job! 

Throughout the year, we've been reading stories with our second grade buddies. This has been an amazing opportunity for the fifth graders to model fluency, expressive reading, and a love for reading. The second graders have love, love, loved reading with their fifth grade buddies and I've noticed incredible improvements in their attitude toward reading as well as their ability. 

To culminate the year, we had a Reading Buddy Celebration. During our celebration, the students made a little memory poster of their year together. The second graders filled out a sheet telling what they enjoyed about reading with their reading buddy and what they learned. The fifth graders' sheet was similar, but they discussed how they noticed their buddies grew as readers. As they created their posters, they enjoyed some yummy popcorn! 

They turned out really well! 








Happy teaching!
