This term was exciting for Division 3 (and Division 13) because, after a long hiatus of not mixing classes, we finally got to participate in Buddies! Each week, Division 3 and Division 13 meet to explore learning and to build connections. So far we have read together, drawn, Speed Stacked, and done some measurement for math.
It is really fun to see how the grade 5s and 6s step up to be role models and teachers to our grade 1 students. They demonstrate kindness, leadership, enthusiasm, and (lots of) patience. The last time they were able to participate in Buddies, they were probably the “Little Buddies!” I hope to see our 5s and 6s become the grade 67 leaders of our school next year.
Here are some photos from our Buddy Time yesterday when we went to the garden to measure something small, something tall, etc. There’s lots of “heads-together-working” going on here!
I’m so happy to see the buddies are back!
