3rd and 4th Grade Book Buddies

Hello Spirit Bear and Polar Bear Families!

We are lucky enough to have two classes big enough to create memories with both the Grizzly Bear class and the Kodiak Bear class during book buddies! The Polar Bears are matched with the Kodiaks, our CDS Kindergarten class taught by Ms. Reeves and Ms. Breeden. The Spirit Bears are buddied up with the Grizzlies, our CDS Pre-K class taught by Ms. Abby, Ms. Margaret, and Ms. Meryl!

We began book buddies by getting to know one another with a "Book Buddy Survey," full of questions about our favorites. Together each class has been able to choose favorite books to read, encouraging both the younger and older friends to look at how special picture books are for all readers. We plan to continue reading together all year long, but also incorporate fun, theme based activities to enrich our experiences with one another! Our first special activity took place earlier in September . In order to celebrate the start of the fall season, each group made delicious caramel apples together! We look forward to a fall walk this month to collect leaves for another fun project!
