Panda Path...hearts filled with joy!
We had the most rewarding experience today sharing
our books with new Pre-K friends at Panda Path! Reflecting on the day, what did you enjoy most? How did it feel reading and giving the books to the students? Please share any thoughts that you have about this wonderful experience!
My buddy Benjamin was a lot like me. He loved sports and he played Fortnite. Every kid there was so cute. I loved being with those tiny kids and sharing my books with them.
I had a wonderful time at Panda Path, I got two buddies one name was Many and the other I don't remember her name, they both were really shy at the beginning then they were really talkative. I told both of them I just want to put them in my pocket and take them home and keep them, but I could't. They were adorable! I hope i can go back soon.
When I was in the bus I did not know who I was going to get. I had three buddies. The first one was kind of shy. I had two at a time. One was super shy and the other one talked a lot he was so nice.
It was so fun! My books were about Pete the Cat. The first Pete the Cat he went to the library. The second one was about the Five Little Pumpkins. My first buddy was nice. I red both books to him there was stickers in one book. He got two stickers. Then we got another buddy. He was nice to. It was very fun!
My book buddy's names were Mia and Esperanza. Mia was very talkative and was still working on her Español. My second buddy was Esperanza. Esperanza, was shy, but we had a few fluent conversations in Spanish. All of the kids were soooooo cute! I really want to see them again!
I loved all of my buddies. But the last two were so hard to deal with because of my Dino-Baseball book. I did not want to have to saw the book in half! But Jilly and Madeline were such a big help. Madeline gave one of the buddies her Dinosaur book. So it was a win win with both of them. The girl got my book and the boy got Madeline's book. I loved the experience of being in another school and seeing so many new face's and being in a school with lots of bright, shining, kind, and helpful kids. I love Panda Path now because now I know what it is made of love, laughter, kindness, all of the mind sets, and lots more including honesty.
I had a blast! If I had to choose my favorite part it would be how happy they were when they took the books home. When I read to my buddies it felt like they were really listening. It was cool how they chose the books. I can't believe how cute they were. If I could go every day, I would. I can't wait to see the next thing that comes our way.
I was 99 percent exited and 1 percent nervous that my buddy would only speak in Spanish. Luckily, both of my buddies spoke mostly English. It felt really good about giving away books that I did not want to kids that did want them. Both of my buddies were super nice. The only bad thing was that my mouth felt kind of wierd after all that out loud reading. But all together it was cool and really fun!
Going to Panda Path was so much fun! I was sad to go but enjoyed every bit of it. My first buddy I shared with Sidney. I am so sad her sister lives at the school I don't think she gets to see her anymore... but at least she could get to see us. The look on her face was the prize.
I was most excited to see there reactions. I was also exited to see what book they picked out of the four I brought. I had one that kept on counting in Spanish to twenty over and over again. They took Chika Chika Boom Boom and they other one took oh the Places You'll go by Doctor Sues. I loved my buddies so so much. It was so much fun interacting with the Panda Path children and seeing their reactions every time I turned the page. They where so cute and funny and I definitely had a connection with both of my buddies. The buddies loved the books and kept on reading the picture over and over. One buddy kept on counting and the other kept on saying the abc's. That experience Is worth a life time. It makes you feel so good how much they love the books. I loved going to Panda Path!
I had lots of fun my with my two buddies. It gave me happiness and joy giving them books that now they have to read one of my buddies could not really talk. He normally would just say yes, or that, or no, but I still had so much fun with him. My next buddy just shook his head up and down and sat there but then when it was getting close to the end he was feeling more comfortable.
I had a very enjoyable experience! My first buddy answered the question "What's your name?", but didn't say anything else. My second buddy spoke pretty good English, but was having a fluent conversation in Spanish with Kate's second buddy. I do not remember either one's name. To give away those books made me feel warm inside my heart.
I loved going to Panda Path. It was so much fun. I really enjoyed reading some of my favorite books to our buddies, I was reading with Libby. Our first buddy was pretty shy and really kind.She chose the book The Lion King, I think she really loved it and she was super happy. Our second buddy was really nice and friendly, She kept commenting on the book Dino-Baseball. She kept saying all the different types of dinosaurs there are. I found out that she loved dinosaurs so I offered the book to her but our other buddy grabbed the book he wanted it to. Then I saw Madeleine she had a book about dinosaurs and she said I could use it so I gave it to him. I really loved seeing all the little kids.
I loved going to Panda Path. All the kids were adorable. My first round I got one buddy. He was awesome and cool. I liked his haircut! My second round I had four buddies! I could not keep up with all of their names. They took all of my books. The reward was having that feeling that you did something kind!
