Book
buddies is an activity where 4th and 5th graders read books to
kindergarteners. I really enjoy book buddies. You get to meet a new
person, which is fun, and read cool books. I remember when I was in
Kindergarten and had book buddies. My buddy was nice to me for the whole
year. So far, all of my kindergarten buddies have been nice. It feels
different to be the buddy reader then it was to be the listener. It
feels different because sometimes hard for me to notice my own growth,
so it still seems to me like I am the same height that I was in
Kindergarten. My book buddy (when I was in Kindergarten) looked so tall
when I met her, so it is hard to believe that I am the tall one, because
now I am the older buddy like she was. I really think book buddies is
great and I hope my new younger buddy will like the activity as much as I
do.
