Book buddies

Today our class met with our kindergarten book buddies from Ms. Antes' class. First, our class went to the library to pick out a book that a kindergarten student would enjoy. At the end of the day, we finally got to meet our book buddy. The students loved reading the book they picked out to their kindergarten friend. They also enjoyed listening to their kindergarten friend read a book to them. Both classes really enjoyed their time together. Throughout the school year our class will be getting together with Ms. Antes'so class for reading and other fun activities. In fact, on Tuesday we will be joining their class to make gingerbread cookies. I can't wait! 

Today in Writer's Workshop we talked about transition words. Transition words help to link ideas between sentences, paragraphs, and even chapters. Transition words are like links on a chain, linking ideas together.
