Buddy time - A Kinder-Buddy Production

We love working with our buddies!  When it is buddy day, sometimes we play inside and sometimes we play outside.  We go for walks together, read together, make art or make videos together.  For our first Kinder-Buddy Production, we used the Stop Motion app to animate a forest of fall trees we made created together.

It is great to work with our buddies because they are such great helpers!! 

After everyone finished designing their tree, we started to brainstorm what we are thankful for.

As the big group worked together brainstorming, small groups came over and added their trees to what would soon be a beautiful fall forest. The trees were slowly moved onto the page.  After each small movement, a picture was taken.  Soon there were over 100 pictures and a collaborative piece of art!  As a final touch, we added our ideas to our stop motion forest.  We are so proud of our work!

The following day, some of our grade 2/3 buddies came to interview us about specific things and people we are thankful for.

We are thankful for our buddies!
