In our persuasive writing unit, some students wanted to get a class pet and try and persuade Mrs. Sullivan that we should get one. Mrs. Sullivan wasn’t so sure…Suddenly, and out of the blue, we had a delivery of some other special pets that needed a new home. We were introduced to our very own reading buddies that we would learn we would be adopting!

Amazingly, there just happened to be enough for everyone and each had a tag on it with a special message and the pet’s name.

Every student selected their new reading buddy which came with an adoption certificate. Our reading buddies stay at school and we can pull them out of our basket during reading times. Students will take them home in June.

Congratulations!
