This month I have really gotten to know my Brooks buddy better. Lily is very smart and a lot of fun to talk to. Lately when I have been visiting the class has been reading a book about a boy with some physical disabilities. While I enjoyed reading the book with her and the class it made it more difficult to get to know her because I did not have much time to talk to her. Fortunately, the last time I went they had finished the book and I had the whole time to talk to her. We talked about our dogs. She said her brother got to name her dogs and named them all after food which made her mad because she wanted them to have more human names. She said she was going to get another dog soon and I suggested she make a compromise with her brother so she could name the dog something she wanted. Also, I learned she has a big imagination because she told me about this game she plays with her friends where they have different names and such. I definitely, portrayed the IB characteristic of a good "listener." I am glad I still have a few more month to get to know Lily better.
