Reading Buddies
Mrs. Fredin’s eighth grade advisory class and Mr.
Fredin’s fifth grade class team up in a reading program called “Reading
Buddies.” As educators, we feel this program benefits both levels. The fourth
graders will be mentored by an eighth grade student, and the eighth grade
student will be able to use his/her knowledge to instruct the fourth grade
student in many activities. We always begin the
meeting time with paired reading and read for twenty minutes. Next, students
fill out a reading log of the reading, answer occasional comprehension
questions, and engage in discussions over the book. Finally, the end of
the meeting time may be spent with the eighth grade student leading the fourth
grade student on one of the following: spelling, vocabulary,
multiplication facts, or other math activities. Reading Buddies meets on
Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:10-2:45.
Word Study Activities: Complete weekly work with
word study activities every Friday.
Study Hall Tuesday: Students will have time to
1. Silent read for 15 minutes for English reading requirement. 2. Work on
homework.
Career Passport &
Career Cruising Work:
Every Thursday students will work through the program and complete work on
schoology and on Career Cruising. The work will be a grade in class and this
information will follow you into high school. This is a program you gradually
complete that helps you prepare for your future job or career.
