Kindergarten Buddies! 10/12

         This past week, we meet up with our kindergarten buddies again. This was the second interaction that we had with them. During the 30 minutes session we were asked to bring a picture book and read to our kindergarten buddies. At the first meeting I found out that she was able to read a basic book, (she sat down and read the book right away). She could write her name and knew the alphabet.

              This second time went a bit different. My partner and I went in and told her (K) that we had books that we wanted to share with her. She was very quiet, and seemed to be looking at me more during the first book. The first book was Beautiful oops, she really did not seem that to into the book. She looked that the pictures but then she would look away if she heard something or when she would see when someone walked by. When I read her my book (Love Bugs) she really did not seem that into it also. She did look at the pictures and listen to me as I read, But then when we asked her what her favorite parts where she did not say anything. 

              Then we asked if she wanted to read more and she said no… but she wanted to color. So she made three different drawings… And she was able to verbal explain what was going on in each photo and was able to “write” on the line about what they photo was. She listens to me as I sounded out the words for her and she wrote the letters of the sounds that she knew. Then she got her book bag, and read us her story that she wrote, and then she had me read a story about ANTS… and pointed to the different ants that where walking over or in objects. She had me read a song about colors while she did read part of it too and did that very well. 

               So she knows her colors and how to read pretty well. I am not sure if she likes being read too, or it could have been that she did not like books we brought. It will be great/ interesting to see how she grows over the quarter, and how the literacy assessment goes next week. Looking forward to see how much she grows!
