This week book buddy session 3 took place at my book buddies house. I brought with me Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson, materials for comprehension activity, letter assessment, and paper to color on, and crayons. I found all my materials very useful. Bingo did not go as planned, so we ended doing something else for the letter assessment.  Luckily, I brought my bag with a bunch of other materials that had a laminated upper and lower case letter sheet. The bingo game I had planned ended up being a complete mess and was not going well. So I quickly switched and had him tell me the letters on the paper as I pointed to them. Jack did very well with this he got them all right! Jack also wanted to read the book Pete the Cat Play Ball to me for his read to me activity, which we did last week but I let him do it anyways. The comprehension activity went really well! I had a worksheet with all the objects the witch lost, and cut out pictures of everyone that helped find the objects. ...

For session 2 of the book buddy I brought with me, Pete the Cat, Play Ball!, crayons, paper, letter game flash cards, shaving cream, and Tawny Scrawny Lion. This week session took place at his house. This time he seemed excited to do this activity with me, which I was really excited about. I know that my book buddy loves Pete the Cat books, so I knew he would enjoy this lesson. Last time he asked me if could do something with shaving cream ( his class does a lot of activities with shaving cream ) so I thought the letter game would be a perfect activity to do with shaving cream. Like session 1 I did not really find any materials that I brought not successful. They were all used and worked very well for my book buddy. In this Pete the Cat book, Pete seems to miss the ball a lot in his baseball game. But every time he misses he makes it clearly he is still happy. No matter how many times he got out he was still happy, and tired again. I thought this was perfect for my book buddy bec...

This week session took place at my book buddies house. It was right after he got home from school, so I was a little nervous if he would do it with me. Everything went well, and luckily he wanted to do it with me. I brought along with me a bucket of coloring materials, glue, scissors, Morris The Moose book, my cutout pictures, and the comprehension activity. I know my book buddy really well, and I know he loves art and crafts! So I knew he would be happy when he saw the crayons, and glue. I think everything I brought was pretty successful. Although, I do wish my activity was a bit more artsy because he really enjoys that. I did not find any of these materials not successful, but I think I would do a few things differently if I was to do this lesson again. I would have my book buddy cut out the moose parts that he glue to his cow. Like I said he loves to do art, so he would have enjoyed the cutting. Secondly, if he was to cut the moose parts out it would have taken up a few extra minut...
