5th Grade Buddies!

Here at Chet's Creek, our first graders are paired up with fifth graders as buddies for the year. This past Friday was the first time that our buddies met! It was a HUGE success! Each and every first and fifth grader was excited to get to know one another!

Our 5th grade buddies will come to our classroom a few Fridays each month and will spend time reading and bonding with one another! This was such a neat sight to see how our first graders looked up to his or her 5th grade buddy while the 5th grader took on role of a mentor!

This first meeting was spent getting to know one another. They completed the worksheet pictured below together:

We look forward to seeing these relationships grow here at Chets Creek! Here are some pictures of our 1st and 5th graders during their first meeting:
