On Friday afternoons you will find the kindergarten students very busy with their 5th grade reading buddies!  Each week the kindergarten students choose a book from the library that they would like their 5th grade partner to read to them.  The fifth graders read the book to their young friends.  Next the kindergarteners tell their partners about their favorite part of the story.  The 5th graders write this in the kindergarteners K-Pal journal (a spiral bound notebook).  Now the kindergarten students become illustrators by making a picture of their favorite part of the story. This weekly event is a favorite to both age groups.
