Mr. D's Class is a First Grade Class.  Mrs. Stein's Class is a  Second Grade Class.  We have been book buddy's all year.  Our classes read together every Friday afternoon and the "buddies" became friends.  

     All I can say is that each child brought something with them throughout the year to help the other.  It was a very exciting time to see all the growth that took place.

     As our final class was about to take place, we decided to end the year with poetry instead of reading together.  What a great job the boys and girls did!

      Thanks, Kids! We will miss all of you.

                                  Mr. D.

                                  Mrs. Stein    

     **If I didn't get permission from the parent to place poetry on this web, that child didn't have his/hers published.
