The MAES librarian Ms. Deidre was able to get “Buddy Bears” donated for each elementary classroom. At the beginning of November, Ms. Schlosser’s 2nd grade class started a “Buddy Bear” writing project. 

Each Friday, a student will be chosen to take home Dino who is their classroom Buddy Bear. The student’s job is to write two journal entries of their adventures with Dino. The events can be big or small, but the main purpose is for students to have a writing opportunity outside of school. The students can practice writing mechanics while being creative. The following Monday, the students get to share their writing with their peers.
