Big Buddies

I can't believe that I forgot to post about our big buddies last week!

Last week we had the pleasure of having Mrs. Spicer's fifth grade enrichment class over to our classroom. The big buddies read a story to their little buddies and then they got to play board games together. Everyone had a really great time! Board games build lots of social skills for both groups as well as lots of math concepts. Not to mention how much fun they are!

We are going to try to meet with Mrs. Spicer's class once a month to do some type of activity. Soon we will be able to have the big buddies read a story and then have the little buddies read a story to them!

This week we will have the pleasure of having Mr. Duffey's concentration class from the middle school come and do an activity with us. The little buddies always enjoy getting to meet new big buddy friends and see what they have planned for us! We will also be meeting with this group once a month.

Since we are a K-8 school, this is a great way for us to get to work together. The big buddies love getting to have a day in Kindergarten and the little buddies love getting to meet new friends who are cool big kids and also getting to see siblings, cousins, and friends from church!
