Our Blogging Buddies Visit!

Today our blogging buddies from the Univeristy of Regina came out to visit us! The children have been hoping for this ever since they first heard about the buddies in January. Once the buddies arrived, we were all kept very busy and no one had time to be nervous.

First of all, each of the children drew a portrait of their buddy using KidPix, and then blogged about their buddy while the university students watched and offered encouragement. Then, it was off to the library where Mr. Lewis (their professor) retold us two of our favourite stories (you can hear them on the podcast below). Lastly, we went back to our classroom where we shared cookies and thanked our buddies for helping us learn how to be good writers.

This mentorship experience has been awesome for the children. They have been excited to read the comments of their buddies every time they got one (although sometimes they took a long time for the grade ones to read!). Talking to the education students on Skype and having Patrick Lewis come out to tell us stories have been highlights of the year. Thank you, blogging buddies, for the way you have inspired my children.
