Kicking Off Book Buddies

This week Ms. Payne's class started meeting with Book Buddies. Buddies chose their books together and couldn't wait to start reading! Book Buddies meet two, sometimes three, times a week to read and think together. Having a conversation about your thinking with a Book Buddy is a huge step in third grade. Check back soon to see some video clips of our conversations!

Coral

By Ella and Kristina

Curvy bumps with an egg shell color. 

One inch of tall of roughness. 

 Tiny red in a secret spot.

 Very light sent of  sea water. 

Connected by a line of coral.
With it's  mute sound of wise flames of silents.
Reminding us of the  ocean sea.

Abalone Shell

By: Henry, Dylan, C.J.  

Round, smooth and dotted, 

moving along with the snail that owned it,

crashing of waves as it was washed up on shore,

black, brown, and white dots on the top,

it sounds like wind inside, 

it is

soft at the bottom.
