Buddies and Bus Safety

Our buddies came today. They brought a little book for us to help them read...and then each Room 8'er had picked out a picture book to read to their buddy. It was a beautiful day so we were able to sit on carpet squares outside in the sunshine. After we finished the books, we took our little buddies to the 'big kids playground' and played on the 'big kids equipment.'

This year, there are two Room 8'ers who have a sibling in our first grade buddies class. Matthew has his sister...Katherine - and Ashley has her sister, Jewele. How fun is that! The top photo is Matthew with his sister. The second one is Ashley and Jewele.

Now, the bars became a big hit with the guys. Kade was perfecting the one leg hang... and Nate, well, he was perfecting falling off.



We also had our annual Bus Safety Drill. We get on the bus and listen to the driver (for us today, we were on Bus 4 with Michelle) tell us all about the safety rules. Then we practice jumping off the bus, like we would do in case of an emergency. Jumping off a bus is pretty exciting! Although, you don't want to really have to do that!
