While Mrs Butler is reading with groups, we are self managers who work through a reading tumble.  We get to choose the activities we want to do and complete them in a rotation.

Buddy Reading

We have started to do buddy reading in room 3.

We have been given buddies and we take turns listening and helping our buddies to read.  We have to say something good that they did during their reading.

We are learning to work together to help each other learn.

Here are some pictures of us buddy reading together today.
