At the beginning of this year, I had a buddy lesson with a 2nd grader and a 1st grader.

Samantha and Colby have back-to-back lessons in my schedule this year, so once a month, I overlap their 30-minute lessons so they each have 15 minutes of solo lesson time and 30 minutes in the middle for shared buddy lesson time.

Today, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes peek into one of our buddy lessons this spring—these are notes straight from my teaching journal.
