Our Own Reader Buddies

These super star readers are our pods Reader Buddies. Every day they get to read with and to someone to support their learning. Its a big responsibility and they enjoy their role as leaders. Kit has taught them how to support other peoples learning while they practice their reading skills so they can be great teachers themselves. These leaders are also learning many new skills for their own reading.

Alex Did Some Research

My bird has a long beak to pick up the fish. His feet are good at going in the water so he can put his beak in the water. His feet are big. The gizzard is where it squashes its food up. Inside the gizzard it has stones so it can squash up the food. Then the food goes back out its mouth to feed its babies.
