Friday
Today was our second meeting with our 8th grade buddies. This time, they came to our room and we had a chance to read and play with them. Most of the Catbirds got matched up with the buddy they will be working with throughout the school year. We will be doing a year-long literacy project with them,so its important to get off to a good start.
Art Class
After some time outside, we had a most excellent story time and discussion. The Catbirds are learning how to share ideas in the big group and to listen to one another and add to others thoughts. Group meetings are becoming more fun and productive as their skills grow.
