This week book buddy session took place at my book buddies house. We read the book Cat In The Hat by Dr. Seuss. Jack loved this story he has a huge collection of Dr. Seuss books. He is very familiar with this book so he followed along with me. I was worried that the book was a little lengthy for Jack, but because he was familiar with it he read along and helped me. I brought along with me this week my comprehension activity, PASS assessment, and my phonological awareness activity. The materials I brought with me were all successful. I did the You read to me activity again because he seems to enjoy this. He usually picks stories that he has memorized to read to me. I also think the PASS assessment went well, I was a little nervous at first because he usually gets nervous when he sees me writing things down. I did an example for him, but he still was a little confused. I helped him with the first one, but he did the rest on his own. He did awesome, one thing I noticed was he could not...

This week took place at my book buddies house, when he was done with school. I was worried that this week's activities were going to be a little bit challenging for my book buddy. But in the end he seemed fine and we worked together through it. This week we read Pete The Cat Construction Destruction. My book buddy loves Pete the Cat stories so I knew he would enjoy this week's session. All the materials I brought worked out awesome, they were all successful. For the comprehension activity Jack made his own playground out of cut out pieces of playground equipment. He loved this, and started gluing right away. He only did a little planning before the glue but the pieces were kind of scattered around the paper. I forgot to take a picture of this but you can see some parts of it in other pictures that I took. The writing assessment also went with this activity. On the back I had Jack write a sentence on his own. He did awesome, and he only needed a little help. Since Jack shou...

This week book buddy session took place at his house. At the beginning of the semester I was nervous that my book buddy would not want to do these activities with me. But I have found out that Jack loves to do this with me, he feels special because he gets to “help” me with my homework. This week we read I Wanna Iguana by Karen Kaufman Orloff. This story is about Alex who tries to convince his mom to get an Iguana. Alex and his mom communicate through letters. For my comprehension activity I decided Jack would write a letter to his mom about getting an iguana. We then did a picture sort of reptiles, and then the copy cat activity. Then to end we did the writing activity, which Jack drew a picture of what his iguana would look like. I found all my materials successful and everything worked great. To end Jack read a story to me, he likes doing this. He points to all the pictures and talks about them and kind of makes up a story of his own. This week he read pete the cat - halloween. He ...
