We meet with our 4th Grade Reading Buddies every 6 day rotation. We first got to know each other by chatting and discovering some of our similarities and differences. We found that many of us have things in common, such as number of siblings and food preferences. Our class and Mrs. Irish's class take turns hosting our buddy sessions. When it is our turn to host, we choose the books to share with our buddies. When it is their turn, they choose the books. Buddies are beginning to use "Book Talk", using some of the same language we use during Readers' Workshop in class. It was a treat to overhear recent buddy conversations...I caught tidbits such as "So what did you notice on this page?" and "Can you make a prediction?"
